金條，也稱為金條或金錠,，是由滿足制造,、標簽和記錄保存標準條件的金條生產(chǎn)商制造的一定量的任何形狀的精煉金屬金。將熔化的金屬倒入模具中制成的較大的金條稱為金錠,。較小的金條可以通過適當軋制的金箔鑄造或沖壓而成,。由中央銀行作為黃金儲備持有并在金條交易商之間交易的標準金條是400金衡盎司(438.9盎司；27.4磅,；12.4公斤)好交割金條,。質(zhì)量為1，000克(32.15金衡盎司)的千巴金條和100金衡盎司的金條更易于管理,，廣泛用于交易和投資,。[1]這些金條在交易時的溢價比黃金的現(xiàn)貨價值低得多，這使得它非常適合銀行和交易商之間的小額轉(zhuǎn)賬,。大多數(shù)千巴是平的,，盡管一些投資者，尤其是歐洲的投資者,，更喜歡磚塊形狀,。

A gold bar, also called gold bullion or gold ingot, is a quantity of refined metallic gold of any shape that is made by a bar producer meeting standard conditions of manufacture, labeling, and record keeping. Larger gold bars that are produced by pouring the molten metal into molds are called ingots. Smaller bars may be manufactured by minting or stamping from appropriately rolled gold sheets. The standard gold bar held as gold reserves by central banks and traded among bullion dealers is the 400-troy-ounce (438.9-ounce; 27.4-pound; 12.4-kilogram) Good Delivery gold bar. The kilobar, which is 1,000 grams (32.15 troy ounces) in mass, and a 100 troy ounce gold bar are the bars that are more manageable and are used extensively for trading and investment.[1] The premium on these bars when traded is very low over the spot value of the gold, making it ideal for small transfers between banks and traders. Most kilobars are flat, although some investors, particularly in Europe, prefer the brick shape.
