gold bullion
Fort Knox contents
Gold bullion is gold in bulk form—bars, ingots, or coins—valued by weight and purity rather than as currency or jewelry.
Bullion represents gold as a commodity or store of value: The central bank holds billions in gold bullion.
Investors buy gold bullion as a hedge against inflation or economic uncertainty.
