Welcome to the Trade Unit Headquarters!
The unstable global economy, Wall Street corruption, and a volatile political atmosphere in the US and abroad have greatly increased the investment activity surrounding hard assets and inflation hedges in recent years. Gold and silver have set new records, and now those looking to protect their purchasing power are reaching beyond precious metals to diversify their holdings with base metals.
New Players in Coin Bullion
The United States and Canada, along with many other countries around the world, have slowly debased their coinage by replacing copper and nickel-based alloys with cheaper metals like zinc and steel. With today's metal prices, the intrinsic value of the older coins now exceeds their face value. These copper and nickel coins are quickly disappearing from circulation and are beginning to trade as "coin bullion," much like Canadian 80% and US 90% silver coins trade regularly in the precious metals industry.
Facilitating Trade
The Trade Unit standard is designed to bring consistency to the base metal coin bullion market by utilizing durable packaging, standardized weights, and trusted processors to ensure a high-quality and highly recognizable product, facilitating easier trade among coin holders and dealers alike.
This website contains information about the quality and security features of standardized Trade Units, the coins themselves, and a directory of approved processors and merchants where Trade Units can be bought and sold.
