Munit;
All countries have cross border restrictions on Negotiable carry across money, bonds, cashier's check's, Gold, Silver, and securities.
Check with your local $ changer, like Deak Perara and the like, they keep up on this stuff, last I knew, between US and Canada the limit was $ 10, 000 US.
Never cheat on the amounts, you risk getting tagged as a "forced entry" and will be sent to the poke and probe room for ever after.
For now, between here and there, about 8 one ounce coins in your pocket should not be a problem.
Why do it at all, why not just buy the Gold in the country where it will reside, and where you will have full legal posession?

I just wear gold chains around my neck if that helps.
