[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1931237, member: 38849"]Only a [ insert word ] would, IN HIS WILDEST DREAMS, consider buying gold bars in China and trying to get them home.

By the way, a big bar is (in my opinion) the very worst way to buy gold. You have to prove to somebody at the other end that it's really gold, there's no way to use a big bar in commerce (the whole point of buying gold), and buyers down the line will have all your qualms and more. Also, unlikely, but if the U.S. and China get into a trade war, when you return, there may be an import duty on Chinese gold. Buy Eagles or Maple Leafs in the U.S., figure out how to avoid generating a 1099 and paying sales tax (a 7% LOSS off the top), and they are bullion coins that are recognized worldwide.[/QUOTE]
