US Mint Sells Most Physical Gold In Two Years On Same Day Gold Price Hits Five Year Low

In fact, quite the contrary: according to the US mint, so far in July the mint has sold a whopping 143,000 ounces of physical gold - the most in over two years, or since April of 2013 - even as the price of gold briefly slid to the lowest level in 5 years.
