Here's the details from India Post:


<< <i>Now you can get 24 carat Gold coins from your Post Office of the denomination 0.5 g, 1 g, 5 g, and 8 g. The gold coins will be packed in a sealed cover with the certification from Valcambi, Switerland. 102 Post Offices in key cities have been identified for this purpose in Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu Circles. This service is provided in association with World Gold Council and Reliance Money Limited. >>
