Should You Invest in Gold Bars or Gold Coins?

When the time comes to invest in gold, bullion is often discussed. Many people make the mistake of believing that all gold bullion comes in the form of gold bars. As a result, when people are advised to buy gold bullion, bar sales rise dramatically.

But gold bullion can be found in many forms. One of the most popular is in the form of coins. There are plenty of gold bullion coins on the market, such as the American eagle gold coins.  These were minted specifically for the purpose of making gold collectible, in a form that could also represent its full value. 

But the real question is "why are so many people more interested in gold coins than bars these days?"
