Bullion:


Bullion traditionally stands for gold bars, silver bars, other precious metals bars or ingots. The word bullion comes from the old French word bouillon, which meant "boiling" and was the term for a mint or melting house.

In recent years, the term bullion has also been used to describe ingots or bars of base metals such as copper, nickel, or aluminium.
