Swiss Gold Bars








[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Swiss gold bars are a very popular way of accumulating gold, particularly with the rising trend of the gold price.

Gold Bullion Bars
There
are two types of gold bars, The cast and the minted. The Cast is
manufactured by pouring liquid gold into a mould to provide the finished
form. These types of bars are called ingots. Most of the larger bars
traded between banks and institutions use ingots. They are usually
around 400 ounces each and so quite heavy.

The United States
Bullion Depository or Fort Knox, as it is called in exciting adventure
movies, is an example of a fortified vault building used to store a
large portion of United States gold reserves, in the form of gold
ingots.

Minted gold bars are made by cutting gold blanks from flat sheets of solid gold.

A
newer form of gold, called ChipGold consists of a small ingot (1-20
grams) in a sealed and certified package the size of a credit card.

Which
brings us to the two basic Swiss gold bars. The Credit Suisse one
ounce bar and the "Gold Dream" PAMP produced by the Produits Artistiques
de Métaux Précieux gold refinery in Switzerland.

The
Credit Suisse one once bar is one of the most popular and are easy to
carry and store during travel and are easy to convert into cash almost
anywhere in the world. They are fully back by the Credit Suisse Bank of
Switzerland. Each gold bar is of 24 karat gold purity and has the exact
purity and weight stamped on each gold bar, then sealed for your safety
