A Metric Panda

You probably know that the Chinese Central Bank has gone metric, and left the French 1 Troy 1 ounce (31, 103 gram) in favor of a metric 30-gram Panda gold coin. In Oslo, you can also buy 1 gram, 3 gram, 8 gram and 15 gram coins, but at a steeper price pr. gram. A 1 gram Panda gold coin will cost you 581 NOK and a 30 gram will cost you 11355 NOK, i.e. 379 NOK a gram.

Some people think that small is beautiful, but since have to shell out 17430 NOK for thirty 1-gram coins you better stick to the big 30-gram coin if you can afford it. (31.08.2016)
