Gold bullion bars are produce in many different sizes, mostly from 1 kg bars to wafers ['weIfq] of 1 gram (gr).

Bullion bars weighing about 12,5 kolograms (лпы) are known as standard bars and they are used mainly as currency reserves.

The notion of fineness is very important for gold. A fineness is the proportion of pure gold in the alloy of 1000 parts. Sometimes the terms putiry and title are used instead of the term fineness.

A fineness of bullion standard bars should be at least 995. It means that the proportion of pure gold in the alloy of 1000parts is 995 parts.

The maximum fineness of gold can be 999,9. The genuiness ['dZenjVInnIs] of bars is guaranteed by certificates issued by an internationally recognized assay [q'seI] office.

The weight of gold is usually shown in ounces (troy ounces) but not in grams. One ounce is equal to 31,10348079 grams. Sometimes ounces are shown as oz.

The price of gold bullion bars is usually given for an ounce of gold with fineness of 995.

The prices are usually quoted in US dollars and English pounds sterling. They are fixed at 10.30 in the morning and 15.00 in the afternoon by the leading London gold dealing houses.
