The Texas Mint is the refining operation arm of Texas Precious Metals. In 2017, Texas Precious Metals spun off the Texas Mint as its own division with the purpose of expanding the product line and distributing these products to other national dealers. The Texas State Capitol is the theme for all of these products, which include one ounce gold rounds, one ounce silver bars, ten ounce silver bars, one hundred ounce silver bars, and the popular one ounce Texas Silver Round.
The current Texas State Capitol in Austin took eight years and over 1,000 people to build.

The word "bullion" comes from the Latin bulliōn, which meant "a boiling," and was the term for the activity of a melting house. Gold bullion, as the term is used today, is technically
Purity is calculated as the precious metal weight divided by the total weight. In the case of a .9999 fine, the gold content is at least 99.99% of the total weight. Common sovereign coins that are only 22k (91.67%) are generally referred to as “bullion,” even though they do not pass the technical definition, since they are purchased primarily for their metallic content and not for collectible purposes.
A fascination with gold can be traced back for thousands of years, and it has been referenced numerous times through many ancient documents, including the Bible. The United States adopted gold as the official standard of value in 1879, but in 1933, during the Great Depression and just 54 years after adoption, FDR abandoned the gold standard.
“In contrast to political money, gold is honest money that survived the ages and will live on long after the political fiats of today have gone the way of all paper.” — Hans F. Sennholz.
The average human body contains about 0.2 milligrams of gold, some of it in our hair but most of it is in our blood. There are approximately 190,000 tons of gold above ground worth more than US $7.6 trillion. Mine production adds approximately 2,900 tons per year, equivalent to an annual 1.6% increase, but there are still approximately 52,000 tons of minable gold in the ground worth US $2 trillion.
Gold has been the most coveted precious metal in the world since antiquity, for it is relatively scarce and impossible to create without nuclear reactions and prohibitive expense; it is also easily identifiable, malleable, and untarnishable.
These properties make gold a preferred monetary metal and have ensured its place as a symbol of wealth and power, as well as a guarantee for the value of currencies, for centuries.
Gold’s stable purchasing power and durable value makes it a strategic asset in a diversified investment portfolio. Many investors are drawn to gold's role as a hedge against systemic risk, inflation, and volatile stock market fluctuations. Historically, gold has improved the risk-adjusted returns of portfolios, reducing losses, and provided liquidity to meet liabilities in times of market stress.
Gold is not only useful in periods of higher uncertainty or economic downturn. Scarcity has ensured that gold's long-term returns have been comparable to stocks and higher than bonds or commodities; in fact, its price has increased by an average of 10% per year since 1971, when gold began to be freely traded following the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement.
When you want to buy gold, you have the option to buy gold bars, gold jewelry, gold rounds, or gold coins from sovereign mints and/or precious metal refineries.
Gold is extremely rare; a miner is more likely to find a five carat diamond than a one-ounce nugget of gold. Even mining all of the oceans in the world would yield only 10 parts of gold per quadrillion though they are estimated to hold up to 15,000 tons of gold. Buying gold is a whole lot easier than finding gold.
Generally, non-legal tender gold bars are cheaper than legal tender coins by a few dollars per ounce. Clients seeking to purchase gold for the least possible price favor gold bars. The larger the bar, the lower the premium per ounce. Gold bars issued from government mints are IRA eligible. The downside is that the IRS requires precious metals dealers to file a 1099-B form when repurchasing gold bars in increments exceeding 32 ounces per transaction.
Around half of all gold mined today (49%) is made into jewelry, which remains the single largest use for gold. For those who have decided to purchase gold bars, there are several factors to consider when making your purchase. For example, from which mint should you buy your gold?
The price for each ounce of bullion consists of the metal’s spot price and the bullion premium. The spot price of gold is the price of one ounce of gold as contained within a 400-ounce gold bank bar traded on the commodities exchange at current market prices. The bullion premium is the additional charge for a bullion product over its current spot price.
The premium for precious metals gold bars is also calculated based upon minting and shipping costs. Buyers cannot afford (or do not want) 400-ounce gold bank bars; they want smaller denominations. Smaller denominations must be minted.
