Did you know? Gold bars are pure gold. By GIUSEPPE MARCONI, 2007/07/10

Gold ingots are bars of pure gold that were cast in a mold, unlike gold coins which are stamped under a press. They have this rectangular shape simply for convenience of transport.

The weight of gold ingots varies from a mere gram to several kilograms; the "London Good Delivery Bar" weights in at 400 ounces, or 12.5 kilos. At today's price, each bar is worth nearly $400,000!
