gold coins from United Nations :4_1_72: NEW YORK (Commodity Online): Now, the United Nations is also lured by the glitter of gold. In a bid to raise money for its projects, United Nations has licensed the minting of gold bullion coins bearing its logo to provide a public option world savings currency. Oro gold coins are hoped to contribute to making the UN better funded by 2015, with revenue rising by ten to 15 per cent. The coins are set to be produced in Europe and then distributed globally, with any licensee able to produce such bullion under contract. There is a danger that if the US dollar weakens, there will be a strong move towards the Oro. In turn, this could potentially drive the value of the coin up to a level where international governments will not allow it to be circulated. UN coins were previously made purely for commemoration in the 1970s, but they hold no monetary value. http://www.commodityonline.com/news/...24025-3-1.html .

Re: gold coins from United Nations I would rather have official North Korean bullion coins. Or maybe commemoratives from the Chinese tungsten industry.. I've yet to see any press release or anything about this story though, so who knows who really came up with this silliness.

Re: gold coins from United Nations Perhaps a round to commemorate Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe delivering his speech in the plenary of the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen.
