Why clean your car's metal to keep it looking good and well preserved and not your gold or silver coins? The difference is that non-gold coins begin to tone as soon as they are minted. That is, the metal on the surface interacts with oxygen in the air, resulting in a thin layer of discolored metal. In the case of silver coins, this toning can actually add value to the coin, as some coins tone with blue, red, or even rainbow colors that collectors find desirable. Copper coins tone as well, to differing shades of red or brown, and while they are not usually as pretty as toned silver coins, they acquire an aged and natural look that collectors expect. A nicely toned coin not only looks good (in the eyes of collectors), but the tone itself can act as a preservative, keeping the rest of the coin from undergoing a reaction to the air. Coins with a good tone should never be cleaned or polished.

While obsolete gold coins are primarily collected for their numismatic value, gold bullion coins today derive their value from the metal (gold) content - and as such are viewed by some investors as a "hedge" against inflation or a store of value. South Africa introduced the Krugerrand in 1967 to cater to this market; this was the reason for its convenient and memorable gold content�exactly one troy ounce. It was the first modern, low premium (i.e. priced only slightly above the bullion value of the gold) bullion gold coin. Bullion coins are also produced in fractions of an ounce � typically half ounce, quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce. Bullion coins do not carry a meaningful face value, as their value is mainly dictated by their troy weight and the current market price of the precious metal. (If a face value is minted on the coin, it is done for legal or other reasons and it is nearly always significantly less than the actual value of the coin.) Gold has an international currency code of XAU under ISO 4217.
