What is a Don? Gold weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The don (3.75 g) is the Korean unit for gold, used for every traditional gift item. Locally it is written 돈. One don equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's gold spot price works out to — TWD.
Where it is used. First-birthday (dol) gold rings are classically one don, and jewellery shops in Jongno quote buy and sell rates per don daily. The unit is the trading standard in South Korea.
Pricing conventions. Korean shops add a workmanship charge on top of the metal value and buy back at a discount, so the round-trip cost on a one-don ring can be significant relative to its metal content. Gold is the metal most often traded in these traditional units, because jewellery and savings demand kept the old weights alive long after industry went metric.
Good to know. Ten don make one nyang (37.5 g), the Korean equivalent of the tael.

Buying Gold in Taiwan: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per don, the price you see here is the international XAU spot price converted into Taiwan Dollar. Physical buyers in Taiwan pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Taipei, through bank gold passbooks and jewellers. Buyers there generally watch the Bank of Taiwan posted buy/sell price per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Gold bars and bullion coins are exempt from business tax in Taiwan; jewellery is taxed on the fabrication value. Gold is the deepest of the four precious metals markets, so local retail spreads are usually the tightest and buy-back is easiest. That is why the shop price of gold in TWD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same don of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Taiwan are Bank of Taiwan gold passbook accounts, bank counters selling bars, jewellery stores and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include Bank of Taiwan 1 tael bars, gold passbook grams, 9999 jewellery.
Local conventions. Taiwan uses its own 37.5 g tael (台兩) and the Bank of Taiwan gold passbook is the most common way to hold metal without delivery. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per don with the live gold price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline TWD quote.
