Rhode Island is the smallest US state, but has a large population and is, therefore, the second-most densely populated. Historically, the economy of the state revolved around the fishing, textile, and silverware industries. Today, however, the economy of Rhode Island is service based, with healthcare, tourism, and education comprising the largest sectors.
Rhode Island is heavily urbanized, and there are many top gold and silver dealers in Rhode Island to serve the population of over one million residents. Rhode Island is also home to the Geib Refining Corporation, who refine gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, and iridium from a wide number of sources.
Currently, sales taxes are not charged when you buy gold, silver, or platinum bullion in Rhode Island. Numismatic coins are also exempt from sales taxes. However, purchases of paper money, tokens, medallions, and certain other collectibles are not exempt, and the state sales tax of 7% applies in full. Other local and city sales and use taxes may increase that total even further.
