Silver Spike Drives Demand for Commemorative Year of the Horse Coins
People are lining up at Bank of Taiwan branches to buy commemorative Chinese zodiac coins for the upcoming Year of the Horse. The coin set, which features a one-ounce silver coin with a gold-plated horse, costs around 30% more than the previous Year of the Snake set. However, the soaring price of silver has throngs of eager buyers seeing the set's price of around US$78 as a bargain.
