Do a visual check of all the gold coins to determine their country of origin. Depending on where you are going, you will face different requirements and restrictions on what types of gold coins you can travel with legally. When traveling to the United States, for example, you cannot bring gold coins from Cuba, Burma, Iran and the Sudan. Check regulations and requirements for both your departure and arrival locations.
Place the gold coins in a plastic coin bottle and put the cap firmly in place. Place the plastic coin bottle in a carry-on bag to keep the gold coins with you at all times. All the monetary assets you are traveling with, including the coins, should not exceed $10,000 in value.
Stand in the customs line when you arrive at your destination. Declare the gold coins according to the rules and regulations of that destination. Be prepared to show identifying features such as the mark indicating the country of origin.
