皇家造币厂说

皇家造币厂的销售已经销售，其金条硬币飙升至新纪录，因为英国人涌向金融市场的动荡，投资贵金属。

The Royal Mint has seen sales of its bullion coins soar to a new record high as Britons flock to invest in precious metals amid turbulence in the financial markets.

皇家造币厂的销售已经销售，其金条硬币飙升至新纪录，因为英国人涌向金融市场的动荡，投资贵金属。

The UK’s official maker of British coins said the surge reflects people turning to so-called “safe haven” assets in a bid to protect their wealth.

英国官方英国硬币制造商表示，激增反映了人们转向所谓的“避风港”资产，以保护自己的财富。

Between January and March, revenue from bullion coins was quadruple the amount generated in the same period a year ago, The Royal Mint revealed.

The coins are made from precious metals including gold, silver and platinum and feature different designs, and are typically sold as an investment product.

The Royal Mint said it reflected the strongest start to the year since it first started selling the coins online.

The tax applies to profits when people sell an asset that has gone up in value, but its bullion coins are exempt for UK residents because of their status as British currency.

当人们出售价值上升的资产时，税收适用于利润，但由于其作为英国货币的地位，其金条硬币可豁免英国居民。

The total weight of gold coins sold tripled over the period, while revenues of gold coins soared 329% compared with last year.

专家说，贵金属的风险往往比其他投资（例如股票和股票）更少，并且在动荡期间通常要比金融市场表现出色。
