Japan's biggest bullion house Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo said on Monday its sales of gold coins more than doubled in 2008, as investors flocked to the safe-haven metal amid the global financial crisis. Gold coin sales jumped in February following a spike in gold prices and also again from October as the credit crisis picked up steam. It sold a combined 158,851 ounces of two types of investment-purpose gold coins, up 121 percent from 2007, the bullion house said in a statement.
