My mother used to an ardent shopper for gold way back in the 80s. I recalled her buying gold coins for investment and she loved collecting the chinese horoscope gold coins every lunar New Year. She would check the gold price and flock to the goldsmiths when the price was low.
It has been a popular trend among Chinese to purchase these horoscope gold coins as keepsakes al these years. Some of designs on these coins are creative and intricately manufactured, which make them popular as gift items among corporates and well-wishers during festive seasons. It is also common for older folks to buy gold for wedding couples as a symbol of luck and prosperity in Chinese customs. Buying gold is often seen as a sign of wealth and prosperity for other cultures too as it is said that gold bullions have the power to change men's lives.
