My wife (Japanese) is really worried about ¥ value, but doesn’t want the hassle of investing in stocks etc. She’s thinking about just buying gold instead as she can do that whenever. Is it a good idea?

She doesn’t care if the value remains overall the same as it is now but she’s really worried about the rapid depreciation of the ¥.

She wants to own it physically and not online etc. she’s also thinking about getting a safety deposit box.

I’m British so she wants £ as well but the exchange rate is to high right now.

Thanks for any help.
