There are more than one ways, and that's because there are more than one reason. Do you have a thimble full or a teaspoon full? I'd say don't melt them as you would wind up with a blob of gold about the size of a quarter pea. But, if you have a half cup or more, and want to impress someone, you might then melt it. Even with that much, if you intend to sell it, don't melt it, some places pay more for it as the can charge more for it by placing some in water in little bottles. In any case you should do a Google on, "What metal will gold not stick to". Try several varieties of search words until you get a positive answer and then use that. I'm guessing aluminum, but it's only a guess.
Good Luck.
