<p>I read during the Argentinean financial crisis in 2002 that a private company was considering launching a private currency supported by gold (i.e 100 currency = 1 gram of gold). I consider the idea facinating as every private person would not have to gamble on a government acting responsibly, but could have a very safe hard currency which actually becomes more valuable when there is a crisis. Another issue is also that there would not be inflation in this currency unless the value of gold decreases. </p> <p>Why hasn't this idea succeeded earlier?</p>

<p>I've found there are different ways to invest in gold.</p> <ul> <li>Buy gold mining stocks</li> <li>Buy gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</li> <li>Buy gold coins or bars. </li> </ul> <p>I'm unsure of which way be give me the best benefits from investing in gold and there are probably several others that I'm missing. What are the pros and cons of each one? </p>
