bullion

I've been eyeing a gift for my long lost friend in elementary who has been collecting precious metals in the past. After searching for ideas over the net for quite some time now, I got an idea from Monex Deposit Company (MDC) that as an investment product, silver is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots. Wouldn't that be great for a gift to my friend? Besides, there would never be a better time for buying silver bullion than right now.
