Individuals seeking to invest in gold should consider holding physical gold in the form of coins or bars, as it offers superior storage and security compared to other metals and financial instruments like ETFs, which are essentially IOUs. Coins, which must be produced by a government to be classified as such, provide a more reliable investment. Physical gold is easier to store than silver or copper, taking up less space, and can be shipped securely and insured directly to customers. While options for third-party storage exist, such as in Switzerland or Dubai, self-custody remains a viable choice. Ultimately, possessing physical gold is a preferred method for those concerned about economic instability and seeking tangible assets.
