In 1967, the government of South Africa minted the gold krugerrand
to increase the marketing of South African gold. Although the krugerrand
is considered as legal currency in South Africa, it is rarely used
for that purpose. Instead, it has become a favorite of coin collectors
all over the world, known as “medal coins” This was the
first coin to be valued at the monetary value of gold, or the current
rate of gold prices. For example, a U.S. silver dollar is worth exactly
one dollar unless it is unusual in some way that makes it more valuable
to collectors. The krugerrand was originally a one-ounce piece of
22 carat gold with no monetary value imprinted on it; its value is
based upon the market gold price that frequently fluctuates. Today
krugerrands are made in a variety of weights, including half-ounce,
quarter-ounce and one-tenth ounce. |

The U.S. Gold Double Eagle, Saint-Gaudens
type, had been issued from 1907 until 1932. Although 445,500 Double
Eagles had been minted with the 1933 date, none were released into
circulation because of changes made to currency laws during the Great
Depression. In an effort to end the run on the banks and stabilize
the economy, President Franklin Roosevelt took America off the gold
standard. Not only were no more gold coins to be issued for circulation,
people had to turn in the ones they had. |
