Buying gold coins is a popular way to invest in Gold.

Popular coins are:

The South African Krugerrand
The Australian Nugget Kangaroo
The Australian Lunar Coin
The Canadian Maple Leaf
The Austrian Philharmonic

The Chinese Panda

These coins can be bought from a precious metal dealer. In most cases you will have to store them yourself. This brings up certain problems that concern keeping your gold safe from theft. When holding Gold Coins in your procession you should have appropriate security and insurance in place. Also, when compared to gold that is stored in a reputable vault they are harder to sell. However, many people prefer to have personal possession of their gold. You will pay more per oz. for gold coins than gold bullion.
