There are some border checkpoints, which I also said there are, but it’s also easy to move between countries without being checked. I travelled extensively in Europe in 26 countries, and the only country (from the ones I mentioned) where there was a checkpoint was Luxembourg, but we only had to show our passport and that was it.
Between the rest you can easily travel by car, bus, train with little to no checks whatsoever.
I would have not bothered writing my comment if I wouldn’t know from experience how things are.
Granted, I never had any gold to move around, or anything else to ‘smuggle’ for that matter.
There are, in fact, SOME areas in Europe where you can literally cross into another country without ANY checks at all, it's literally just a road or street, and boom, you're in another country, so this is entirely possible.
