coins are normally collected as a hobby. But can you actually buy these things called gold coins with a value equal to keep their weight in gold, literally! Gold coins are usually in a variety of sizes, usually 1 ounce or less available. There are so many world gold coins from different countries published.

As you can see, not to stop the minting of gold coins to the larger countries. It is a global thing, because these coins actually help the economy (see Krueger Rand).
