Taking gold bars and sovereign coins out of the country

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.
Benefits? Free housing ? Were you not supposed to register in the first save haven?

No idea why someone would buy bars in the UK over CGT exempt coins like sovs and brits.

It was a bit of both really. The gold bars was when I thought the financial market, specially the global money system was going to collapse back in 2007. So a group of us started to buy very small amounts.

Oh that's cute that you tried to edit your snappy little comment out. Don't worry, I caught it in time ;)

You'll soon learn.

Aren't you worried bigger boys might come and rob you? Or your house might burn down with your gold turned into a puddle in tonnes of rubble?
No because I haven't told anyone that knows were I live. Plus when I purchased it, I lived at a different address. These days you now have registered your address etc.

Ok, comment is still there. I just wanted to make sure deflation isn’t always 100%. Some things drift a long way.

Just put it in a bank account like a normal person ffs. The amount of risk you're putting yourself in isn't worth it. And the second you let your guard down, you will be robbed.

Are you one of these "free man on the land" clowns?

I wonder if there is a network where they keep tabs on who buys what then pass it on to onto someone.

There isn't I don't think, the resignation process over the last few years has become a bit worrying. The government has really turn up the registration process when buying these types of investments.

I guess they pushing to track it more, gold is easy transferred and always sellable.

Before you used to go buy the gold , then few years later you would show your passport nothing was documented, now so many questions.

Now you have the serial of the bar on the protective wrapper, and the intrusive questions and evidence.you need. They now need a compliance team to investigate your information to give the go-ahead to sell you the gold.

There are massive markets for this kind of info. Perhaps not so much here, but in certain countries info like "that bloke just spent £10k on gold bars" would be worth a grand. And those people will be relieved of it very sharpish.

Would Spain be one of those countries? ;)

No, but it is something I can trade if I really need it.
Let's say the currency collapses which it will do, not sure if I'll see it but the way things have accelerated over the last decade seems to be worrying.
