It is possible to buy mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) from banks or other financial institutions that track the price of what gold costs on the open market, however. It is also possible to buy gold futures at banks or other financial institutions which are contracts to buy gold at a certain time in the future at a specified price. These contracts, however, are used by and large for hedging purposes and are not meant for individuals who are actually looking to buy hard gold. Your best bet to buy true gold is a jeweler or a commodity broker/dealer. If you type "buy gold" into google then you will find many options which seem reputable. is just one such website.
