What Is the Difference Between Minted and Cast Gold Bars?

Minted gold bars can also be described as Gold Biscuits or Wafers. Minted gold bars are often thinner and flatter than cast bars and have more defined edges. These minted bars are then cut to the required dimensions and are struck with the refiners' stamp, fineness and design.

The process allows the refiner to add more complex design details, making them more attractive to investors looking for collectability as well as value for money. The bars are cleaned and polished and sealed into packaging which contains the certificate of authenticity.

A cast gold bar is often called an ingot. The bars are made by pouring the molten gold into a mould. The mould usually has the refiners stamp and fineness, some have individual serial numbers. Cast bars are often thicker and deeper than minted bars.
