    Dear Puspita

    Welcome to Dubai.

    If its for investment purposes, you may buy 22k gold coin in denominations starting from 2gms upto 1kg. But better buy in 8gms (1 sovereign) coins only which you will lose Dhs.1/- per gram when you melt for making ornaments later. If you buy 24k you will lose more money and if you buy in tolas, again more will be deducted and wl lose money.

    So bst buy is buy 22kt gold in 8gms or lesser coin forms in multiples.

    Best Rgds
    Shanti

    Buying Gold coin or bar

    Hi friends,
    I want to invest in gold but I'm here in USA, so thinking to buy gold coin or bar. Is there anyone who has done this. Will it be a problem to take it back India. Is there any idea to carry it safely.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shavy,

    Gold coins?

    I am relatively new to this forum, and love all the tips and advice on here! I am the saver in my family, and plan and budget every month.

    I see many members on here saying that they invest in gold coins regularly, contribute monthly to purchase gold at the end of the year etc. Can someone please explain the merits and rationale behind the same?
    I know that gold is a good investment option as prices keep appreciating. But dont a majority of Indian women already have gold from their wedding, and passed on from mothers etc.?
    Im sorry if my question is amateurish but am looking forward to your replies.
    Thanks!
