Bars are probably just fine. They are still small overall. I might go that route w/my next purchase. I do think it's good to have both. Trading might require smaller denominations. (I hope it doesn't come to that). However, given where gold is going it's probably no biggie to overpay w/the coins. I can tolerate 5-6%. Much more and I'll probably do the bars or goldmoney.com etc.
