God is portable in the amounts that most us are likely to possess. Many thousands of £/$ are easily carried. High denomination paper money is lighter still, and a bank card weighs almost nothing, but the whole point of gold is for situations when paper money or banks are, or are likely to become valueless.

If you are lucky enough to have millions of dollars worth of gold, then you would reasonably have a vehicle or pack animal to move it.

And yes I have carried a modest stash of gold. 10 UK modern sovereigns worth in total about £2,500 fitted readily into a pocket. Dozens of those coins, worth say £10,000 could have been carried without much trouble.
