Although I’ve worked in industry here for nearly 30 years, I’ve had little connection with our gold mining industry. I thought it would be interesting to find out something about it and write about it. However, I don’t pretend for one minute that this is comprehensive or complete. Gold is the chemical element with the symbol Au (Latin: aurum ) and an atomic number of 79. Apart from ...

Hello everyone, I was thinking about the expression "to coin a phrase" recently, and it seems to have its origin in coin as a verb refering to stamping metal to turn a round piece of metal into a coin. We usually use mint to refer to this process, but I am pretty sure both minting and coining refer to only the stamping process, not the previous production of the metal discs. If anyone has ...

Obviously, the vast majority of Ag traded comes in the form of bars, and then rounds (coinage), which typically weigh one troy ounce each. Minting and coinage possess a cost beyond "spot price," but I still do not see much in the way of fractional silver coinage for sale at any price. I like 1/2 and 1/4 oz rounds, but it appears that those minted have either been hoarded, or demand is ...

October 20, 2009 Op-Ed Columnist Safety Nets for the Rich By [COLOR=#000 66]BOB HERBERT[/color] The headlines that ran side by side on the front page of Saturdays New York Times summed up, inadvertently, the terrible fix that weve allowed our country to fall into. The lead headline, in the upper right-hand corner, said: U.S. Deficit Rises to $1.4 Trillion; Biggest Since 45. The ...

The CFA really appreciates beauty and attention to detail. 34 stars on the flag, and the coin is hideous. The E Pluribus Unum "football" font is hilarious at least! Gold and silver aren't barbarous relics...pennies are. Would they please quit minting these stupid things already?
