Investment or ingot coins refer to a special group of coins minted of precious metals: gold, silver, platinum or palladium. Their mintage is a simple process and, unlike, commemorative coins, they lack semi-precious and precious stones, colorful enamel or special wrapping. In many countries, transactions with investment coins are VAT-exempt, what makes them attractive for the population. The cost is calculated on the basis of everyday price quotation of precious metals.
