If you don’t have a lot of money and still wants to invest, you might want to consider investing in gold coins.  You can diversify and spread your investment among traditional stocks and bonds as well.  Many investors are currently looking at investing in gold as the US dollar may lose value. American gold coins are the best buy during these times, these coins are issued by the US Mint and are guaranteed for the gold in them. You could purchase other coins or gold, but you won’t have the guarantee and it could become more difficult to cash in to money when you want to.

If you owns American Eagle gold bullion, you can sell this coins at almost any precious metal dealer.  The coins are considered money in the US, however, the face value of the coin isn’t worth it.  The gold in the coin is worth around 10 times more than the face value on the coin.
