There are no readily spendable forms of gold money. Gold is no longer money. By definition, money is the most liquid asset that can be readily exchanged for other goods or services, whether it's cocoa beans, wampum, cigarettes, cowrie shells, or Krugerrands. Gold does not perform that service any more than any of the other items in that list. It is something that can be purchased with money, however, and in any amount, being infinitely divisible, or at least as divisible as a bushel of wheat. That makes it just as much a commodity as silver is, and silver has also been demonetized.
