But surely when people talk of bullion they're not talking of the gold in coins - but gold bars .9999 pure?

You may be right, DD. But I always thought that bullion was just the value of the metal, irrespective of any "artificial" value (as jewelry, art, religious artifact, coinage, etc) placed on it. I would guess that someone who buys a tonne of gold would be more concerned with the weight of the gold than the form it is molded into.

But I'm still learning here, and stand ready to be corrected.
