1. Different circulation methods: Gold is widely circulated around the world with good liquidity, and can be bought and sold in various gold trading places, banks, jewelry stores and other places. Although panda gold coins can be used as investment products, due to the nature of their commemorative coins, their circulation scope is relatively narrow, mainly in the coin market, collection market, auction houses and some banks, and the channels for buying and realizing them may be slightly limited compared with spot gold.
2. Different uses: Gold itself is a precious metal. As a commodity and investment product, its value is mainly reflected in its metal content, weight and purity, and it is mainly used in investment, storage, jewelry making, industrial use and high-tech fields. Panda Gold Coin is the legal tender issued by the People's Bank of China, and it is a commemorative gold coin with dual attributes of investment and collection.
3. Different market values: Market prices usually follow closely the fluctuation of gold prices in the international market. Investors can invest directly by buying and selling gold spot, futures and ETFs. And the price is relatively transparent. Panda gold coins are not only the price of gold itself, but also the collection value, and the market price will be higher than the gold value corresponding to its gold content.
