§ 7551 Commemorative Gold Medallions

• •The government makes special gold coins in different sizes: big (1 ounce), medium (0.5 ounce), small (0.25 ounce), and tiny (0.1 ounce).
• •These gold coins are very pure—almost 100% gold.
• •They can also be called 'gold pieces' instead of 'medallions.'

Imagine you want to buy a fancy gold coin as a gift.

The government makes these coins in different sizes, like a big one the size of a poker chip or a tiny one like a button. They’re all made of almost pure gold, so they’re valuable.
