Jewelry cannot be seen as a long-term investment, internationally approved metal bars are used for this. These are pieces of 'pure' gold or silver. These are available from 1 gram to 10 Kilogram. What exactly do these 'pieces' mean? These metal bars represent the physical value of the metal prices by weight. The value of the bars therefore change every minute. What are the benefits of this? You are in control of your own capital, not in a bank account. This can be useful in uncertain world times. You can always exchange your money for normal cash or money in any country in the world. In short, an investment of your own assets physically in your own hand.

There are several ways to invest, so you also have a lot of valuable coins in addition to bars. This works in principle the same as the bars, only there is an extra bit involved. The calculation for coins is different, this is because no pure mental is used for this. Also, different coins have a different value than just the material value. Well-known examples of investment coins are: The Golden Ten, The Golden Five, The Kruger Rand and The Golden Guilder.
