Canada mint says able to meet demand for gold coins

OTTAWA, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The Royal Canadian Mint is not suspending sales of its gold bullion coins and is able to meet growing investor demand for the precious metal, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

"Although we are facing growing demand, we can keep producing the coins to meet the demand as best we can," said spokeswoman Christine Aquino.

The U.S Mint said Thursday it was temporarily suspending sales of American Buffalo 24-karat gold one-ounce bullion coins because of strong demand. There had been market talk that Canada might make a similar move. (Reporting by Louise Egan; Editing by Peter Galloway)
