It is possible to use the monetary market to use you GBP and actually purchase gold all though this is a can be a costly measure if you have a the money this can be a good way to acquire gold. You can also sell you GBP for Gold on the Monetary Market but this has its disadvantages. The two methods work as follows
First you can SELL you GBP on the Monetary Market. Currently you can do this by offering 1 GBP for 0.001 Gold. This is an incredibly slow method of acquiring gold but is the more profitable then the second method.
The Second way is to directly BUY 1 Gold from the Monetary Market. This would currently be 1 Gold for 2442 GBP.
The first option is clearly the most profitable but as has been pointed out it is a very slow and time consuming method of acquiring gold, which is also reliant on people wanting to buy your GBP. The second method is much faster but also much more costly.
Buying Gold
The third and final way to acquire gold is to buy it directly from eRepublik. Some people use this method and others dislike this method but at the end of the day it is totally up to you on how you acquire gold.

is it still possible to sell currency for gold?, i'd assume no one with any sense would buy it as they could just put there gold for sale say 2k each at it would fly with current prices at 2400, i can't see anyone being impatient enough to buy at 1000,

So do you need to pay gold to train at the higher level training camps?
unfortunately yes the other 3 trainign camps cost gold, theres one for 0.19g, 1.49g and 1.79g these can be upgraded using gold too, if you get the chance it is well worth saving up the gold to upgrade the free to use training centre (buy when theres an offer on tho as it'll cost 40% less gold)
