Impact of Precious Metals Pricing on Collector Coins
The rapid rise in precious metals pricing has led to an increase in the issue price of new coins in countries like Germany and Switzerland.
In practice, the face value of a coin provides both a ceiling and a floor for its worth in commerce, as circulating coins are made of metal worth less than their face value.
If the face value becomes less than the metal's intrinsic value, coins may be withdrawn from circulation for melting, affecting collector coins issued in precious metals with lower face values.
- Germany is increasing the face value and issue price for new coins.
- Switzerland has raised the prices of its new collector coins.
