Investment in gold coins

Gold is a serious, long-term investment, not only suitable for times of hyperinflation and banking crises. Its historic significance, along with its limited supply, makes the purchase of gold a much-loved hedging strategy in the face of increasing inflation, particularly when interest rates do not compensate for a currency's loss of purchasing power. Naturally, the fundamental rule of investment – don't put all your eggs in one basket – should be observed. However, within the framework of a balanced portfolio, gold can serve as an excellent insurance policy with interesting diversification effects. In the history of man there have been very few investments that have maintained their value over thousands of years. The total abandonment of gold as an investment amounts to an ignorance of history.
