On the flip side can they keep track of all of them?

They already flag all large bank transactions so if you paid for your wife's baubles form a bank account they're already tracking you Fred.

The miners and bullion dealers will be responsible for reporting to the government with penalties hanging over their heads. Details have not been published yet.
All I know is that right now you can walk into Kitco's office in downtown Montreal and exchange cash for a couple of gold Maple Leafs with no questions asked. I'm not sure what happens when you sell to them since I only bought three (at about $600)
I think there are tax changes coming or they are getting ready for gold and silver seizures sometime in the future.
Criminals, terrorist and money launderers are already operating on a black market.

Are the Maple leaves a government issued item?
Gold glitters a little too brightly
An array of gold and silver coins from various mints - including the U.S. Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint - have been temporarily removed from the offerings at Kitco Inc., a precious metals dealer that does a roaring trade online and out of its Montreal office.
The removal, in effect until "further notice," are due to production and delivery delays, the company's website said.
While the U.S. Mint has told its dealers it is ceasing production of some of its popular American Eagle gold coins for the rest of this year, gold coin production at Canada's mint is proceeding as fast as possible, a Royal Canadian Mint spokesperson said yesterday.
"We are filling demand as quickly as we can and getting the orders out there," Christine Aquino said from Ottawa.
She couldn't define the time lag between requests from authorized dealers such as Kitco for gold and silver coins and delivery of those products.
Canada's mint has closer contacts with its suppliers of precious metals than does its U.S. counterpart, Aquino said, and it controls its gold bullion manufacturing process "from start to finish."
