The following is a blatant plug for a business that I am invested in, both philosophically and monetarily. Its aim is to get Gold circulating again. No, not in day-to-day purchases, but, and more importantly, in the area of saving and investing.

Gold fixed-income had existed for centuries, but this asset class is now all but forgotten. Monetary Metals Treasury™ makes what was once old new again.
There is a universal desire to live on interest, not spending the principal. Fixed income meets this need, with its steady payments.
Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve has imposed a zero interest rate policy. Savers, fund managers, and retirees have a problem.
The Monetary Metals Treasury™ offers the solution. Investors who want to earn gold for the use of their gold are matched with businesses that use gold productively. This innovative gold fixed-income product is designed to reduce risk for the investor. It is tax-efficient, and compliant with applicable regulations.
Monetary Metals Closes First Gold Fixed-Income Deal at 5{781366457d9c05ca9285c5eb3e04ac75968647e24436986cab65f74e6f4b3aad}
FREEDOMFEST LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 15, 2016—At FreedomFest, Monetary Metals announces that it has closed its first gold fixed-income deal, to finance the gold working inventory of Valaurum. The initial amount of gold meets Valaurum’s current needs, with room for expansion driven by its growth. The interest rate is 5 percent of the gold, paid in gold.
Both gold investors and businesses benefit from Monetary Metals’ innovative financing structure. It reduces risk to investors, while also reducing complexity and cost to businesses.
Monetary Metals provides physical gold to Valaurum, to meet its needs in making the Aurum® gold currency unit. Valaurum’s proprietary manufacturing process requires a fixed quantity of gold. Monetary Metals provides this gold, while retaining ownership.
Conventional precious metal financing is not only costly, when it’s available at all, but complex. Gold’s high value and volatile price means that companies which borrow cash to buy gold are risking big losses. Borrowers typically use complex hedging strategies, which adds extra moving parts, people, and costs. The Monetary Metals solution does not transfer price risk to the company
“Monetary Metals offered Valaurum an unusually affordable and simple product for financing gold for our manufacturing process. By helping us expand production and lower our costs, Monetary Metals has advanced our mission of putting gold into the hands of everyone who wants it,” said Dr. Adam Trexler, President of Valaurum.
“We are excited to help Valaurum with its gold financing needs. Our innovative business model matches businesses who need gold, with investors who are willing to provide it. We can now offer a yield on gold, paid in gold,” said Keith Weiner, Monetary Metals’ CEO.
Monetary Metals™
A yield on gold, paid in gold™
Monetary Metals™ is a different kind of gold company. Our philosophy is that wealth is measured in ounces—not dollars—and you should invest to grow your wealth.
This means increasing your gold. Hoarding gold is not investing, merely speculating. Even if the bet pays off, and the gold price rises, you don’t have more wealth. You have more dollars, but each of those dollars is worth proportionally less, and you still have the same amount of wealth.
Monetary Metals™ is the pioneer in gold investments, with products designed to generate a yield on gold, paid in gold™.
Monetary Metals™ was founded for a purpose: to offer the world an alternative to the failing dollar system and to help people transition to a working gold standard. We define this as when everyone has a choice to deposit their gold, and earn interest in gold.
