The U.S dollar has lost more than 98% of it's purchasing value in 100 years. Gold, by contrast, has remained relatively stable in its purchasing power over this time. An ounce of gold can still buy much the same as it could in 1908.
History has shown it is the ultimate form of wealth preservation.

Chinese gold bullion coins come in the form of 'common date' gold panda coins. Since their inception in 1982, these coins have charmed investors and collectors alike with their attention to detail and proof-like qualities. Their 99.9% purity is guaranteed by the Chinese Government and each coin is sold in various sizes, the most popular being 1 troy ounce.

These coins also have a unique quality of added value. Their depiction changes every year so no two coins look the same from different years*, in contradistinction to the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and the American Gold Eagle coins.

With the Chinese gold panda, the number produced is limited in number which means coins from some years are now collectibles with a premium far greater than the price investors paid when they were originally issued. As an example, the 1998 1 oz coin sells for a 40% plus premium over gold content values. This can be attributed to the low mintage of 20,507 for that year, coupled with the strong demand worldwide for these coins led by China and its middle class population of 300,000,000. (The middle class population of China is about the same as the whole population of the United States.)

Gold panda coins for the current year have the lowest premium which is 10-15% over spot price (this is for coins untouched in original mint packaging as they were first released from the China Mint). The mintage over the last couple of years for the 1 oz Gold Panda has been 150,000. In 2008, there were 710,000 Gold American Eagle coins.

ChinaGold has acquired gold panda coins from all the years. The coins sell out very quickly as investors are turning to gold as the ultimate store of wealth.

With $1.95 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, the Chinese Government has been aggressively purchasing gold. In May 2009 they announced an increase in their reserves by 75% to 1,054 tonnes.
