Gold! Gold! Gold!

Ya know, I've heard stories throughout the years that you could buy real gold. Yes, that's right real gold. Now why would you honestly want to buy gold is what I am trying to figure out. I know that it has extremely great values and appreciates wonderfully...meaning you get what you put into it and probably more! So how do you go about buying gold buillion though? You can go through Monex Precious Metals which sells gold in convenient forms such as coins (and is competitvie in their metal prices)...just like the Romans did in their time! But you better be careful, you wouldn't want those gold coins getting in with your other coins and being used by accident! Seriously though, if you are a collector or investor this is a great opportunity to take advantage of.
