The 30-paise opera

March 16th, 2011

the ministry of finance sought the Reserve Bank of India’s views on this suggestion. Responding to the ministry’s letter in November 1973, the central bank said the proposal bristled with two incongruities. “First, it would be a misfit in the decimal series, adding to the multiple denominations already in circulation; and second, no other country had till then introduced an odd denomination,” said the bank. It further added that the coin was likely to become redundant if telephone call charges were raised.

RBI had also argued that if the 30-paise coin was to be introduced, the new coin should ideally weigh approximately 6.9 grams, to enable the telephone machine to accept it. but that was not practical because the cupro-nickel 25-paise and 50-paise coins weighed 2.5 grams and 5 grams respectively, and the cupro-nickel 30-paise coin weighing 6.9 grams would have been out of sync in the coin-system. but then a 30-paise coin having a weight anything between 2.5 grams and 5 grams would have necessitated for a recalibration of the coin-collecting boxes.

February 2nd, 2011

Financial professionals around the world agree that in these most dire economic times, there are only a handful of ways for investors to find a way to see the results of an investment. Investors deciding to buy precious metals in the form of coins or bars has been progressively gaining in popularity since the recession began. Because of their intrinsic value and liquidity, gold and silver have always been known to hold or gain in value even in the midst of a weak stock market.

The Palladium coin is one of the most popular options for investors looking to get started in coin collecting for profit. these coins are made of the rare silver transition palladium metal. several countries around the world produce these coins, generally as a special, commemorative piece and not to be inserted into the consumer marketplace.

The very first palladium coins were produced by Sierra Leone back in 1966, followed by Tonga in 1967. After that, several countries followed suit in creating special palladium coins for investors, including the United States, Canada, China, France and many others. the 2005 Canadian Maple Leaf palladium coin is the most modern palladium coin, and a very popular option. Russia has minted the highest number of collectible palladium coins of any other country.

Although there are many different ways for investors to enjoy the benefits of buying gold and silver, many economic professionals agree that having the actual physical metal in your possession is the key to seeing a return on your investment. Collectible and rare coins are a wonderful investment not only because of their currency value, but also for the intrinsic value of the precious metals they are made from.

How you decide to purchase precious metals for investment purposes is very important. To assure that you are receiving an honest to goodness product, it’s vitally important for investors to educate themselves in the gold, silver and palladium markets to assure that they are buying exactly what they think they are buying. It’s common for beginning investors to make mistakes by not knowing enough about the current prices of gold and silver, so the more knowledge you are equipped with, the more likely you will be to see a positive result of your investments.

As an investor in this difficult financial time, being able to put your money towards something with real value is very important, and palladium coins and other collectible coins offer investors an honest option for investment return.
