Having earned a certain amount of money, many people think about how not to lose it, but to increase it. Someone keeps bundles of banknotes at home, someone buys securities or opens deposits. But there is a certain group of people who are interested in investment coins.

Banknotes of such a plan contain precious metals and are issued, as a rule, for a certain event. Therefore, they are valuable, both due to the content of silver (gold), and in connection with a certain collection component.

Investment coins that can be bought on the territory of our country can be issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation or foreign issuers. For example, today you can buy a Tuvalu dollar with the image of a great white shark, issued by Australia. It contains 31 grams of silver, has a diameter of 40.6 mm. In total, 2,000 such coins were issued on a global scale, which increases their value in the future. Today, about 3.7 thousand rubles should be spent on such an investment.

The Rwanda franc coin from the Zodiac Signs series, issued byGermany. It costs about 9,500 rubles and contains 93.3 grams of 999 silver. The product has gilding and diamonds weighing 0.002 grams each (4 pcs.). The total output was 10 thousand pieces.

Investment coins are also issued by the CIS countries. For example, Belarus issued 5,000 silver Belarusian rubles with the image of a squirrel. The coin weighs 31.06 grams, contains 999 silver and a red Swarovski crystal (squirrel's eye). You can buy such a cute little thing for 2, 2 thousand rubles. Some advanced users purchase such products as a gift, which is a truly valuable piece of art and a good investment.

If you have 2,500,000 rubles, then you can afford investment gold coins weighing 1000 grams. Such a remarkable issue was made by the state of Liberia, releasing the items "Apostle Paul" and "Apostle Peter". And among the Russian samples you can find quite affordable specimens. Including:

- a coin with a face value of 50 rubles. "George the Victorious", weighing approximately 7.8 grams, sample 999 for 15950 rubles;

- a coin with a face value of 25 rubles. "Signs of the Zodiac", weight 3, 11 grams, 999 samples for 6300 rubles;

- coins with a face value of 50 rubles. "Sochi 2014", weighing about 7.8 grams (current price 19950 rubles);

Investment coins are of great value, so you need to think in a timely manner about the conditions for their storage, and, possibly, about insurance. If you don't haveopportunities to ensure security, it is better to open "metal accounts" for which you can purchase a certain amount of precious metals in a virtual form. In this case, the collection component of the investment, of course, disappears.

The sale of investment coins is carried out by large banks (Sberbank, etc.). They can also buy some copies back at set prices, which may be lower than the selling price. Therefore, it is not recommended to invest money in coins made of precious metals that are intended to ensure life, because. you can lose on the difference in rates if you have to urgently return the coin. Otherwise, such investments are almost ideal in the long run.
