Ah screw it, I've been trying to do more research on it and it's all a big mindfuck. I can't make head nor tail of it. I would like to own gold, but I have no way of knowing what is good gold or not. There are a million places that make it and they all have their own seals and stuff. Some places seem to have vaults and others expect you to go and pick up your gold. Some say bullion chunks are decent, whereas others say they are harder to sell than coins. I quite like the idea of owning Royal mint sovereign coins now, but I have no idea how they would get them to me. I don't know, maybe I just wasn't meant to own any gold. I might just buy myself an earring or something.
