    It becomes clearer that the new chinese panda bullion coins will be 30gr to replace the western standard size from ounce to metric gramm. We will see new sizes also in gold bullion.
    The 1.9oz ( set of 5 coins AU) will be history soon.
    With 2016 we will see 30,15,8,3,1 gr in gold coins.

    I am also sure we will see something like "30gr. AU 999" on the coins again.

    WHY: the answer is simple - china is about to overtake the global physical gold trading market from the western dominated places in new york and london.

    china has the Shanghai gold exchange in place and already build all the institutions they need to do so.
    The chinese standard bullion size is 1kg ( 1000gr)
    1000gr can not be divided to onces without digital places.
    the western standars size for bars is 12,5kg which is 400oz.
    over years now the swiss refiners melt down the standard 400oz bars to 1kilo bars and ship them to the east.
    western gold world is dominated by paper, eastern world by physical.

    the one who has the gold will make the rules.
    And the new rule is that gold is no longer measured in ounces
    With the 2015 panda bullion china made only the first step with eareasing the "oz" inspcription on their coins.
    next step will be the 2016 bullion coins with inscription gr and purity and AU /AG

    for sure it will take some years from the beginning in 2016, but i am sure we will see the new gold order on the australian gold bullion soon.
    China has already won the game on the physical gold market without MSM noticed it.

    With the new 2016 panda bullion they show the world the new beginning gold standard that is no longer under control of western world.
    Personally it will have the consequence that i have to replace my gold standard bullion to the new standard.
    Old pandas and also some lunar gold will stay but US and Canadian (oz) gold has to be replaced.

    welcome to the new gold bullion standard, just simple and just my 2 cent

    That's a very interesting opinion. But why do you think that gold with indication of weight in oz has to be replaced? Gold is gold, and people will always keep on buying wether it is in grams, ounces, tolas, taels, luongs, or whatever

    I simply think china is about to demonstate their power in the gold market.
    they want to dominate the gold market in future and 1kg bars
    are their standard. divide 1000gr / ounce and you have 31.xx oz
    thats not good to calculate. they calculate in the metric system.
    think about what happens if australia will decide to match to the chinease market with
    their bullion.

    edit: its only my personal job to replace my standard us/ca/sa non numis bullion

    So it appears that leaving off the weight was a strategic move from the start. I guess the 2015's will be the year different from all others. Interesting.

    I welcome the change being made by China.

    Besides, the metric system is so much better than the lame, antiquated, counter-intuitive system the U.S. uses. Way back in the 1970's, when there was widespread talk in the U.S. of the U.S. finally joining the rest of the modernized world in switching to the metric system, I was excited that this change would happen. But whomever the thick-headed dinosaurs in the U.S. that prevented that change were, stopped it from happening.

    AFAIK, The China Mint plan is to remove the weight, purity and metal composition from the 2015 Pandas but still issue them in troy ounce multiple/fractional weights. For 2016 onwards, the plan is to switch over to round gram weights (still with no weight, purity and metal composition indicated on the coin). Corresponding Yuan face values will still be maintained on the corresponding gram sizes as they are in the troy ounce coins of 2001 - 2015. Also, contrary to what some think that they will be shortchanged 1.1 grams by the change to 30 grams, the pricing will still be based on the actual weight of the coin + usual premium (may just be a little challenging for some who are not familiar with troy ounce to gram conversions).

    Looking forward to metric, not a fan of troy ounces, or any other kind.

    Well I live in Europe so I always had trouble with those strange ounces.
    Would be happy when they start with the grams.

    30 gr was stupid.... 25 50 100 would make sense. But 30gr is a halfway half assed way to break with tradition.

    How many 30g coins in a kilo?

    That remains to be seen.


    Besides, I have no idea what the wholesale price on 2015 Panda's is now -- never mind for the 2016's.

    stupid move : THE WHOLE WORLD has measured gold in troy ounces for 100,s of years ,because China mint,s a panda coin in Grams if anyone thinks it will change a worldwide system is misguided ..... lets see there little experiment trying to set up a world bank flopped on its ass ....the Chinese have been selling gold to India to cover there latest currency manipulation,trust me the standard of anything to do with financial markets certainly wont be established by the Chinese ,I am not bashing it is just a fact .No one trust them in the financial world .Currently they are punishing people who try to sell stocks these are the same folks that where talked into investing into a monumental bubble by the government .The list is just too long ..why in the world the Chinese government has the arrogance to think they can change a gold measurement standard by putting a bear on a coin is beyond me ..I wont be buying them as when it comes to liquidate bullion I think no one will want them

    Major car companies and manufacturing companies in the US are the culprits (dinosaurs) to retool the system would cause financial havoc here and they are a powerful lobby:)

    I agree, 25g, 50g, 100g etc for coins is nice size.

    I don't mind ounces for coins though, but bars are much nicer to keep in the metric system anyway.
