Bring Gold coins (< $10K) into US
I am overseas and have some gold coins that I have owned for years in my apartment here. I'd like to bring them to the US. These are American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leafs and South African Krugerands.

I will have maybe 5 coins which collectively are worth under $10,000.

Do I need to declare anything to US customs?

This makes it seem like any amount of gold needs to be declared.

But is also says that only monetary instruments over $10K need to be declared... and the Eagles and Maple Leafs should be monetary instruments (but possibly not so with the Krugers).

Thoughts?

Anyone brought gold in recently?
