Buying gold. Is it better to buy 1oz coins, or 1oz bars?
Also I think the best coins are Canadian, and bars are Swiss. Do you agree?

Unless you’re possessed with collector’s passion and if you view gold as hedge against inflation and against a weak dollar, the better choice are bullion gold bars. Some people will advice you when buying gold bullion it is better to buy the largest size bars you can afford, because the larger the gold bars you buy are, the closer to the actual value of gold you are likely to get for your money, with a proportionately less margin to pay.
However, this is not necessarily the best advice if you want to hold gold to be prepared for times of crises. In times of crisis you want to have your gold (at least part of it) available in handy increments. If banks collapsed or major currencies collapsed, it would be very desirable to have your gold ready at hand in as small increments as possible - like the handy 1gram gold bar that will make the perfect currency for everything that you need to buy and pay for.
In this scenario you will be glad that you paid the premium for the smaller increment. Also, when inflation hits really hard, and you have to cash in an ounce of gold, the money you get will lose its purchasing power almost daily. If gas is 5 dollars today and 6 dollars tomorrow and maybe 10 dollars next week, you will lose money if you have to cash in 1oz or 5oz gold bars at a time. You can avoid this when trading 1gram gold bars as money is needed.
