I'm interested in buying silver bullion from the Royal Canadian Mint. What are the key protection technologies they use for their silver products, what does each technology do, and how can I find an authorized dealer to purchase these products?
Navigate to mint.ca. Click on the 'Invest' link in the main navigation. Under the 'Bullion' sub-section, click on 'MINTSHIELD™'. Read the content to understand MINTSHIELD™'s purpose and function. Return to the expanded 'Invest' menu (if not already visible, click 'Invest' again). Under the 'Bullion' sub-section, click on 'Bullion DNA™'. Read the content to understand Bullion DNA™'s purpose and function. From the 'Invest' menu, under the 'Bullion' sub-section, click on 'Find a Dealer'. Synthesize the information on both technologies and the dealer location.
Identify MINTSHIELD™ as a key technology and explain it provides surface protection for silver bullion to prevent milk spots. Identify Bullion DNA™ as a key technology and explain it is an anti-counterfeiting measure using micro-engravings and digital authentication. State that authorized dealers can be found via the 'Find a Dealer' link under the 'Bullion' section of the 'Invest' menu.
