Customs laws say you have to declare over $10,000 of cash or monetary instruments over $10,000.

Well, I suppose the question really is, what is a $1 gold coin's value when dealing with customs? Is it $1?

Anyone on here read Full Faith and Credit. READ IT NOW if you haven't. It can be read in one night, and I bet you won't be able to put it down.

Are gold coins considered "monetary instruments"?

Well the issue isnt so much leaving its where you are headed - will it be confiscated by customs on the other side???. If you are going to teh 3rd world....have a private plane or KNOW follks down there to smooth it over. Otherwise if they dont get at customs they will track you down and steal it later.....
YOu will be marked an dif they think you are welathy you risk kidnapping for more...

Where do you think the idea for heavy gold chain jewelry came from?

Hint - not hip hop

You must inform (and get permission from) the federal government if you want to enter OR LEAVE the U.S. with $10,000 or more.
