deal
Being the fourth most populous state in the US with an estimated population of 19.8 million residents, New York is one of the original thirteen colonies which formed the United States. Its capital is Albany, but its largest city is New York. Both the state and its major city were named for the 17th century Duke of York and had been inhabited by Native Americans for several hundred years before Europeans came to this territory.
The state is the home to some of the world-famous tourist attractions: Central Park, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and Niagara Falls which is shared with Ontario. New York has also a vast educational infrastructure that includes around 200 universities and colleges and is considered a global node of entrepreneurship, creativity, and environmental sustainability.
New York is the home of the country’s largest city - New York City - which is the Nation’s financial capital. NYC has a population of 8.5 million people - almost half of the entire population of the state - making it a top location for precious metal dealers and investors. It is also one of the major tourist attractions of the US, which only encourages gold and silver sales and investments within this area.
