USAGOLD note: All the mints at one point or another during the course of the past year have complained about their inability to keep up with demand. The Austrian Mint says it is “unable to keep up with demand [for its gold coins] as people rush to find a safe haven for their money amid surging inflation and economic fears caused by the war in Ukraine,” Gold is up 5% in euro terms year to date. Starsich says that customers for its gold bullion coins are of all ages and from all walks of life.
