<p>[QUOTE=&quot;myownprivy, post: 3624526, member: 84588&quot;]The worst is the Chinese Gold Panda: can&#039;t decide between ounces or grams.

And consequently, the 1 oz gold eagle now must weigh over 1 ounce so that they can fit an ounce of gold into the coin. When I buy a one ounce coin I don&#039;t want it to weigh nearly 1.1 ounces! </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1/10 ounce Gold Eagle has a face value of $5. The 1 oz has a face value of $50. But the 1/4 ounce has a face value of $10?! It should be $12.50.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Canadians: same face value problems as the Americans, but at least they don&#039;t put copper and silver in their gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
