New Orleans is one of the largest cities in Louisiana and is named after Duke of Orleans who ruled as Regent for King Louis XV. It was founded in 1718 by the French Mississippi Company. Since the place was under the rule of France and then Europe, it has a distinct and rich French and Spanish Creole architecture. The city is one of the major United States Ports. New Orleans is known to have the highest number of historic districts. The longest continuous bridge in the world, the Pontchartrain Causeway, and the largest enclosed arena in the world, The New Orleans Superdome are also in New Orleans. The city is the birthplace of Jazz, Rock n Roll, and Blues, the place where the first Opera was performed, and the home of poker, too. Metropolitan New Orleans is the hub for the maritime industry. The city contributes a significant portion of the nation’s oil refining and petrochemical production.
Some popular precious metal retailers have flourishing businesses in this area and if you ever plan to visit New Orleans, do check them out. In Louisiana, there is an exemption on sales tax on sales of gold, silver, or numismatic coins or platinum, gold, or silver bullion. One should also note that numismatic collectibles, like medals, tokens, non-legal tender coins, and paper currency, are subject to a 4% tax with additional local or parish taxes that can be as high as 11% depending on the area. Being an out of state retailer, Bullion Exchanges does not charge sales taxes on any purchases made by Louisiana residents. However, it is always better to check with a tax professional before making any purchase, as we are no tax policy experts.
