Is renting gold haraam or halaal?

Where I say property, I mean, something physical which has value. If the islamic definition of rent-able property is different, please let me know. If I have property in the form of a house, I understand that I can rent this house out and get monthly payments in the form of USD until the house is returned to me, where the rental period is defined in a contract. As far as I have read, this is apparently halaal. My question is, if I have property in the form of gold, can I rent that gold out and get monthly payments in the form of USD until the gold is returned to me? Where the rental period is also defined in a contract.
