He explained that the 24-carat coin can only be purchased on the PMMC’s website.
Mr Awuah noted that when the purchase is done online, a token will be generated for the buyer to collect the coin at the office of the company in Accra.
He said PMMC has state-of-the-art vaults for keeping the coins and other minerals in the country.
Mr Awuah revealed that the coins’ serial numbers are embedded in the database of the company and can be tracked from the company’s database.
He said special certificates will be issued by PMMC to those who intend to travel outside the country with the coins.
