US Mint halts sale of popular gold coin
The US Mint is temporarily halting sales of its popular American Buffalo 24-karat gold coins because it can't keep up with soaring demand as investors seek the safety of gold in these turbulent economic times.
The price of gold continued to hit record highs Wednesday while the US dollar remained in its downward trajectory as investors bought dollar-denominated assets and sold the greenback in the wake of comments by Federal Reserve officials, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
