dude u dont want to buy gold bricks like that anyway...if you plan on buying gold a good idea is to buy gold eagles or kugerands or something similiar...the theory is that if and when the US dollar is worthless then you (and me) will still be able to purchase the neccesities, i.e. food, toilet paper, etc. with gold....and gold bricks are not gonna help you then.

cliff notes: gold coins are easier to get rid of or spend than gold bricks.
