Taking gold bars and sovereign coins out of the country

Yes, it applies to gold, if it's investment grade then taxes and duty shouldn't apply so what's the issue with declaring it?

Serious answer...
1.sell the gold
2.Transfer the money to your new account in the new country.

I mean you could physically carry it over as long as it's declared and you can prove origin.. I. E. You're not laundering proceeds of crime, etc.

But it's crazy to carry that much cash or gold or whatever anyway.
Plus I doubt you'd get insurance if you were to be mugged or leave the racoon gold in the airport lounge accidentally etc.
Just liquidate it and then you can buy gold again in the new country, or invest the money in some other thing.

With the price rises I could be buying it at a loss.

Plus they never give you the spot price when selling and always trying to lowering even more over who processed it etc...

I as I am going to travel back and forth for a few months. I thought I take a bar or two on each trip.

Melt them down and cast them into a bitcoin. Send it on the blockchain!
 
a la french connection, put the gold bars in the rocker panels and take the shuttle, may need an oddjob bodyguard.

Regular trips back and forth by plane might get 'gang buster' starmer's attention.

Doesn't matter as long as it's legit... plenty of people own property on the continent and are traveling back and fourth frequently, and transfering cash frequently.

Carrying racoons pockets full of gold bars, maybe not so much!

EDIT... I'm about to run out of pages in my passport I've got so many stamps in it, as they had to go back to stamps due to brexit so they can easily check your not over staying:

Is that how long you've been living in your "I hate the UK" bubble?

Having moved countries twice, one of them to Europe, I'd manage my expectations if I were you. England is the third country I've lived in, there's a reason I still live here.
 
Are even small bars sold with a serial number/traceable in addition to assay mark

...
living in europe
Not sure living in northern europe counts as the full tonywilliams experience - try living somewhere south in the warm and then living your best life in UK / red pill.
