Best gold coins to bring to Latin America for your plan B

The top three gold coins to bring to Latin America are the Canadian Maple Leaf, The U.S. Gold Eagle and the South African Gold Rand, or Kruggerands.

The easiest and most recognizable gold coin in Latin America is probably the South African Gold Kruggerand.  It is one of the oldest and most recognizable gold coin in the world and is well known in Latin America and if you ever need to sell a gold coin take it to a jewelry store and sell it there.

The easiest place to sell gold coins is in jewelry stores in Latin America, not gold and silver coin stores but there are exceptions like in Panama, or say Mexico City. I once sold Colombian 5 Peso gold coins in Mexico City but I had to go to almost every gold coin shop to get the best price and cash, but in general Latin American gold coins aren't recognizable and hard to sell because people think they are fakes.

In most jewelry stores in Latin America Canadian Maple Leaves and American Gold Eagles are very recognizable and the easiest to sell if you need cash.

I suggest buying 1/4 gold ounce coins because the value isn't to high for most people to buy and you cn get that much cash easy without having to wait for the store owner to go to the bank and get cash say compared to a one ounce gold coin.

The easiest gold coins to bring into Latin America and to avoid getting any attention or your gold confiscated are the old European Gold coins like French Frances or British Sovereigns, or even Swiss Helvetia's. These are 1/8 to 1/4 gold coins and are small easy to hide and easy to get thru airport customs and immigration if you travel by plane. If you travel by land borders you are home free usually and you will never get searched or get asked about why you have them and in most cases there are no exray machines to even detect them.

So to reap the most marketable gold coins in Latin America to bring down for your plan B would be U.S.Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leaf's and South African Kruggerands.

Those are the most recognizable gold coins to buy and sell and most people are used to seeing them and buying them and trust them more than say there own countries gold coins or there neighbors gold coins.
