“Plays with neurobiology and physics” is stretching it a bit thin, much like referring to any experience as “physically altering your brain”

MI6 write the columns, and the only parts that are important are a few letters at prearranged positions, which form the next cryptographic key to be securely distributed to agents in the field. Since the adversary expects British spooks to be more Times/Telegraph types, it’s more deniable.

If the gold is in an accepted standard form, such as krugerrands, you just need to find a precious metals dealer. If it’s just a pile of gold, then there’s a lot of hassle. I imagine ingots of the sort national gold reserves hold would be somewhere in between.
Shifting a large quantity of gold may require a non-optional explanation of its provenance, with “I woke up and it was just there” or “a genie gave it to me after I did an online quiz” not being adequate, and an inadequate explanation resulting in its forfeiture if not more serious legal hassles. With a large pile of gold and no good explanation, you may be reduced to smurfing small pieces of it to different dealers, moving around a lot and avoiding the attention that such a pile would inevitably draw.
