Bulletin of prices of gold bars and gold coins

The Bank of Greece buys and sells gold and gold coins against Euro to individuals. For this purpose, the Bank publishes a bulletin which contains information about the prices at which the Bank of Greece concludes transactions in the following categories:

   
• Gold
• Sovereign: Fineness 0.9166 (7.940-7.988 gram.)
• Sovereign: Underweight or Of Different Fineness
• Coins

Concerning the purchase of gold bars by the Bank of Greece, and following agreement on the price, the client has to present the bars to the Bank of Greece's counter for genuineness' and fineness' control. The equivalent in Euros is paid to the client after completion of checking. In any case, the client is charged with the control expenses.
The public is reminded that the purchase and sale of gold sovereigns, gold coins and international standard gold bullion in the form of bars, plates, ingots, etc. (i.e. gold other than industrial or commodity gold) may be legally carried out only through the Bank of Greece and credit institutions. Persons illegally engaging in such commercial activity will be prosecuted.

Vad vi ser här är en ökad kontroll av finansiella tillgångar som kan användas utanför statens kontroll. Jag tror det är precis denna utvecklingen som blir naturlig då det ligger i statens intresse att ha ökad kontroll över de tillgångar som finns i landet under en kris. Troligen relativt lönlöst då alternativa valutor och svarthandeln ökar samtidigt.
