Hi Bobby
I did go to the TD bank to purchase gold, Maple leaf or wafer.
It was my intention to get $20,000.00 in Canadian maple leaf
currency,I would have to purchase these coins in $US so right off the top the exchange rate comes off then I would have to pay PST at
8% on the full $20,000.00 so I would end up with about 15,000.00$
worth of Maple leaf coins.
The wafers were also in $US but no PST.
Never thought to ask the bank if they would purchase back the gold
if the price ever got to 1000.00$/oz
So I think the exchange rate and the PST may stop a lot of average canadians from purchasing gold.
