0 Guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Depends on the weight of a $10 dollar coin compared to the weight of a $20 coin. Say a $10 coin weighs an ounce and a $20 coin weighs 2 ounces. You'd have 16 $10 coins and 4 $20 coins. If a $20 coin weighs the same as a $10 coin, then you'd have the same amount of American money. If the exchange rate for the dollar keeps dropping, than the full pound of gold would be worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 For American money, it depends on the weight of each of the coins. But in terms of the world, I'd take a pound of gold over half a pound any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 roolstar Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Always choose the side where the LIGHTER COIN is, and not necessarily the lightest side! It will probably be the side of the $10 coins in this case... Edited March 20, 2008 by roolstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably be the side of the $10 coins in this case... When it comes to "gold" coins as in American standards they can stamp any amount on them that they want (similar to the difference between the quarter and the "golden dollar" same size and almost the same metal content, but a different monetary value) So in this case you are left only with the weight difference one pound is worth more than a half pound. And if you want to think about it a little more than you have to take into account that gold is weighed via the troy scale all over the world which is a 10oz pound. So........ 10oz gold @ (925 as of 20mar08) = $9,250 5oz gold @ (925 as of 20mar08) = $4,625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
