It will be interesting to see if sales of 24ct Gold iPods experience the same surge of demand that the US and Canadian mints have enjoyed for their gold coins these last few months. The US Mint had to temporarily suspend sales of its American Buffalo 24ct gold one ounce coins because demand exceeded supply. But the Canadian mint has no such problems and was quick to point out it is coping with the increased demand for its various gold Maple Leaf coins. With Gold surging to over $900/ounce in the face of increasing financial uncertainty the coins are seen as a possible hedge.
