There was a time when all banks could either have personal boxes for you or you could store stuff in their vault
Naturally like all good things --- no more
There are a couple of "Vaults" listed in the major cities which makes them very inaccessible for many but alternately the thought of buying gold and sticking it under the bed would not fill me with glee either
I find it strange that overseas you can buy gold at a ATM type machine and in Aus everything is done in back rooms and hide the stack under the lavender bush in the garden
Is that because buying bullion in Australia is not done ?
Likewise the cost is far higher than overseas, I did find a site for good cheap gold but the minimum order was one tonne so that sorta ruled me out a bit.
I would not expect anyone to give personal details of what they do but there must be more available than I can find on google
