Because of the risk of theft, most people will never get to hold a gold brick. But it should not be too hard to build a mechanical simulation of one, for example for a museum display. Take an object of the right shape and gold electroplate it. Attach it with strings coming out the bottom to pulleys and weights (like an exercise machine) to simulate the right weight.
You could go the tungsten route, but that much tungsten is valuable enough to steal.
