How is a gold ingot produced?A gold ingot also categorised as a gold bar, is formed by melting pure gold into an ingot mould and allowing it to set. These ingots are then heated in a furnace and imprinted with a "die" on both the obverse and reverse sides of the ingot. This design will usually show where the ingot has been made (in some cases, a logo or image will also be displayed), the fineness of the ingot (most with a caratage of 24k gold), as well as its weight. A more common method is to transfer a design using a computer-controlled engraving machine. It is said that around 60 tonnes of minted gold bars and gold ingots are produced each year.
