The difference is almost unmeasurable in terms of real value. Minting companies have used the extra 9 as a means to increase perceived value and show off refining technology which is somewhat of a marketing ploy really. Gold refined at 9999 was introduced by the Canadian Mint in the 1980's, in fact some coins produced in 1979 and 1980 at .999 are rumoured to be have a higher purity than the current issues of .9999.

What is the difference between 24 carat gold v 999 fine gold?
Both are a way of describing the purity of the gold bullion. Karats are measured by mass. Thus, if you had 24 grams of gold and all of it was gold i.e. pure, it would be 24 karat gold. If I had 24 grams of gold and 22 grams of it was gold, the other 2 grams being copper for instance, the bullion would be 22 karats. Fineness is a more modern and accurate way of describing purity and is measured as parts per thousand. So 999 actually means 999 parts per thousand. It can also be described as 9990 or 'three nines' pure gold. It equates to 99.90% pure gold. Anything above this is considered 24 karat gold. So if you are looking to buy gold bullion, 24 karat or 999 are acceptable and good choices.
