I'd find a well-established shop that sells gold bullion, go there, and tell them I'd like to purchase a million dollars' worth. Probably not the most efficient way, but it would be very fast and I think I can get by with losing a few percent of my new fortune.

Nice plan!

If you live in a city with a decent size manufacturing scene you could also absolutely buy a million dollars worth of metal from a supplier in town. Especially higher end alloys and metals

But I think it'd probably be easier to buy a million dollars worth of jewelry.

Gold jewelry doesn't have as much inherent value as bullion, so it would be harder to sell without losing money. And in 24 hours I could easily drive to a big city for the purchase (or just book a flight with a tiny fraction of the money).

I don't think you have to sell it though? At least not from reading the original post

But a million is also not that much. I'd imagine any jewelry store in a mall has multiple millions worth of inventory

I don't have to sell it, but I assume I'll want to eventually. And yeah a million isn't really that much for a precious metal shop anyways.
