Another article in the MSM today predicting gold at $1050 in 2015. (forget who, choose anyone really) It's getting to the point where it could be worthwhile funding a round the world trip with some ounces in my handbag. Just avoid USA! Happy Stacking GP!

Gold is too cheap there, also Asset seizure. Selling means govt paperwork. Corruption. I also find entry via TSA inspection by trainee camp guards quite offensive. Avoid China, Russia and Middle East for similar reasons.
Julie, I've travelled to all of those areas except for Russia with a few ounces on me for funds and never had any issues with asset seizure, selling problems due to government paperwork or corruption. When carrying gold, airport inspections have never caused any concern either, every airport I went to I simply put my bag through the x-ray machine (also had some coins in it), it came out the otherside with no hassles at all. Gold usually doesn't show up. Carrying Silver (bars, coins and round 50s) has led to further searches as it comes up black on the airport scanners - but a quick look in the bag and explaining what it was and I was on my way quicker than the poor folks who have to put up with those explosive searches. Unless you're carrying a massive amount with you (kgs of Gold+) I don't think you're going to run into many hassles as there are probably many more people around with more ounces on them than you. Check the customs rules before you travel to a particular country, conform with them and you shouldn't have any problems.
