No, just declare it on your goods accompanying list.

If you are carrying gold bar or coins worth more than $10,000 you must declare it to customs.

You could use a series of Mini Coopers and a coach - it's been done before but then, hasn't everything.

What about making a set of novelty items out of it? Such as a lighter, a pen etc. They could be assembled to make something else - probably.
