5 Reasons Why Gold Bars And Gold Coins Are Ideal Gifting Options
There are many people, occasions and events
in our lives when we want to gift something precious. And the
first choice that comes to mind at such times is jewelry
especially gold jewelry. But unless you know the person
really well, and are completely aware of their likes and
dislikes, their tastes and preferences in jewelry, there is
a possibility of your choice disappointing the
recipient.
My cousin's daughter got married in the US
last year. I attended the wedding, as she was my cousin's only
child, and my family needed to be represented. I knew my
cousin's taste in jewelry, but I had no idea what would
appeal to this once-removed niece of mine! I gifted her a gold
bar. And she recently sent me a picture of a pair of bangles
she had converted it into!
So why take a chance? It's best tobuy gold barsand gift it to them. Or, if you're looking
for something lighter and smaller, you canbuy gold
coins.
Here are 5 reasons why gold bars and gold
coins are ideal gifts…
1. No risk of wrong
choice.
The first reason, and perhaps a very
important one, is what I've already mentioned earlier. You
don't have to lose sleep over whether the person you are so
lovingly buying the gift for will like it. By gifting a gold
bar or gold coin, you give your loved one the freedom to
choose the jewelry they want to be made. They might even decide to
just keep it aside for a time when they may need to convert it
into liquid cash. Gold bars ARE considered good investment
options!!
2. No "use-by"
date.
Some may argue that a gift card also
satisfies the 'no risk of wrong choice' reason. I disagree.
They are not quite the same. Gift cards have a use-by date. I
am aware of instances where gift cards have been forgotten or
misplaced, only to resurface one fine day long after the
expiration date! I've also found that gold coins and gold bars
are put away more safely than gift cards. Somehow, they are
more valued. So, for a well looked-after gift that has no
expiry or use-by date, what better choice than gold bars and
gold coins?
3. Choice of several
denominations.
You can get these coins and gifts in
several denominations/weights. This makes it easy to select a
gold bar or gold coin to suit your budget and pocket. From a
modest 1gm coin to the heavy London Good Delivery 12.5 kg bar,
you are spoilt for choice!!
4. Choice of embossments to suit
individual and event/occasion.
Ah! This is an area you might have to give
some thought to. There are so many embossments available to
suit religion, occasion, preference… Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess
Saraswathi, Lord Ganesha, Krishna with Radha, Baby Krishna,
Mecca, The Holy Cross, Queen Victoria… the list can go on.
There's a gold coin or bar to suit every occasion. New home,
birthday, puja, festival, engagement, wedding, new business,
arrival of a baby – just choose an appropriate coin or bar,
and you are set and sorted.
5. Ease of
obtaining.
It is very easy to buy gold bars or coins.
They are available in most jewellery outlets. You can even get
them online. With more and more people opting for
buyinggold jewellery
online, getting
gold bars and coins online is a convenient option.
Take Vaibhav Jewellers. Their coins and
bars are MMTC-PAMP certified. So quality is assured, and so is
resale. With their 25 years of legacy and expertise, they
would be your go-to destination for gold coin or bar needs.
They have 12 brick-and-mortar stores across Andhra and
Telangana, and a very user-friendly website if you'd rather
buytemple
jewellery. Their
services and policies are completely customer-oriented. You'd
be delighted with your buying experience.
And just take a look at what else they
offer…

exchange.
>Free 15 day
return policy.

insurance on International Shipments.

Become a member at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to find out how each vehicle we purchase performs in our tests.
Built on the same platform as its sedan sibling, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV could be considered the default flagship vehicle for Mercedes, offering S-Class levels of luxury with the utility of a 3-row family hauler, wrapped in a fully electric package. But while trying to serve so many different buyers, does it end up not doing any job particularly well? We purchased a EQS450 4Matic EV for our test program, and share our first impression of its range, infotainment system, the usability of the third row, and how it compares to other EV SUVs like the Tesla Model X and BMW iX. We also discuss what happens to a car's telematics and infotainment systems when 3G and 4G service is shut down by wireless carriers.

Recibí una llamada, en la cual me decían
que yo tenía una demanda por 4 mil dolares. Si yo no pagaba eso, me iban a mandar
con Inmigración, y que, bueno, eso iba a ser catastrófico. Pues yo me asusté mucho. Me asusté tanto que,
le digo, casi corría yo a la tienda de la esquina a comprar el money order y ya quería que
estuviera la gente por el money order y que se fuera.
Cuando yo platiqué con mi hijo él inmediatamente me dijo:
sabes qué mamá, esto no es real. Pues, empecé a buscar el número en la
computadora. El mismo número que le estaba marcando a mi mamá tenía muchas
quejas, y de hecho una de las quejas era casi idéntica. Una estafa de impostor es cuando una persona
le dice que tiene una afiliación, o que es incluso el Gobierno. Le dice que tiene una deuda
pendiente y que tiene que pagar cierto dinero y normalmente es un sentido de urgencia,
es "páguelo ya, inmediatamente." A la señora Juárez, igual que a otras personas,
la convencen con amenazas, diciéndole que si no pagan la deuda van a ser llevados a
Corte, o pueden ser encarcelados. Yo estoy agradecida, gracias a Dios que
tenía a mi lado, en primer lugar para exteriorizar lo que me estaba pasando,
compartirlo con mi hijo y con mi esposo. Me sentí muy apoyada, muy apoyada
simplemente al exteriorizarlo, al compartirlo. Nosotros presentamos una demanda contra
la empresa, y después de toda la evidencia que pudimos juntar gracias a las declaraciones
de personas como la señora Juárez, el juez determinó que sí, la empresa estaba
involucrada en fraude al consumidor y la empresa fue cerrada permanentemente. A mí me da mucha tristeza que personas
se presten para este tipo de estafas. Les aconsejo que platiquen esto con personas
que consideren ellos que pueden estar un poco más informadas. Si usted recibe una llamada de alguien que
no conoce, y le piden que envíe dinero ya sea por una tarjeta pre-pagada,
con un giro postal o en efectivo, no lo haga.

Transcript:
Scam artists are pretending to be IRS officials to get your money. They'll call, email, or text you claiming you owe back taxes or there's a problem with your tax return. They even rig caller ID to make their call look official. They play on your fears. They threatened to take your driver's license or sue, arrest, or deport you. They want you to pay, fast.
What's the truth? The truth is the IRS's first contact with you will always be a letter in the mail. It's not a phone call, email, or text message. They won't insist that you pay with a prepaid debit card, a wire transfers, or cashier's check. Now you know. Has an IRS impostor contacted you? Report it at FTC.gov/impostors.

The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers' interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.
