Some of the advantages:
a Florida cancer surgeon, e-gold.com has been operating ever since. Dr. Jackson's online biography indicates that he is board certified in radiation oncology with an M.D. from Penn State in 1982. He completed residency in 1986 and then served as a Major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps at Fort Sam Houston Texas through 1992. In 1995, he conceived of e-gold as a payment system. The e-gold system was deployed online in November 1996. Since 1998, Doug has been full time with e-gold.
The e-gold system has over three million user accounts and 3.4 metric tonnes of gold valued at about $68 million. The gold is stored in certified, and insured vaults in London, Zurich, and Dubai. The data servers reflecting your account history and transactions are kept in Florida.
The first mover advantage has been a big part of e-gold's success. It is the most popular digital gold currency, accepted by more merchants online than any other type of digital gold. E-gold is accepted at online bookstores, web hosting and web design companies, many auction sites, travel agencies, and many other retailers. Every day, about ten million dollars in transactions take place using the e-gold currency. That amounts to $3.65 billion per year in transactions. The e-gold system also supports digital silver, palladium, and platinum. If you want your online store to attract customers by accepting e-gold, Vertoro has specialists to help you.

Started in 2001, GoldMoney was founded by James Turk, the author of the Freemarket Gold and Money Report (fgmr.com) one of the most respected gold-related newsletters available.
GoldMoney stores its gold in certified and insured vaults in London. Their data servers reflecting information about account history and transactions are kept on the Channel Isle of Jersey.

We offer bullion coins. Coins which are issued by governments may be legal tender for certain international tariffs but only at face value. The face values on most of these coins are fairly preposterous (e.g., a one ounce American gold eagle coin has a $50 face value).
Some of the most popular gold coins are the one ounce Austrian philharmonic, the one ounce South Africa krugerrand, the Canada gold maple, and the American gold eagle. All of these coins are available in one ounce size. The philharmonic, krugerrand, maple, and eagle are often available in half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce sizes. There is always a premium for the smaller coins because they are harder to mint and in greater demand.
One of the most beautiful coins in the world, the Vienna philharmonic is pure gold. Minted in Austria, this gold coin has a beautiful collection of instruments on the reverse (not shown) and the great organ of the Vienna Golden Concert Hall on the obverse. In its 800+ year history, the Austrian Mint has created an unmatched reputation for striking high quality gold coins with unique designs. The philharmonic is .9999 pure - only one ten thousandth part impurities.
The South African gold krugerrand is the traditional gold coin. When Americans were still forbidden by their government to own gold bullion, South Africa began minting the most popular gold coin in the world. This coin shows the South African native springbok on the reverse. The leader of the Boers, Paul Kruger, is shown in profile on the obverse (not shown). South Africa introduced the krugerrand in 1967 to cater to the inflation hedge market. Since Americans were allowed to own foreign coins, South Africa made the krugerrand legal tender. Millions were sold to Americans eager to avoid the hyperinflation of the 1970s. The Krugerrand is made with a gold alloy which is 91.67 percent gold and the rest copper. This coin is 22 karats gold, so the actual weight of each coin is 1.0909 ounces (33.93 g). The gold and copper alloy gives a more orange appearance. Alloys are used to make gold coins harder and more durable, so they can resist circulation wear - the scratches and dents which come from knocking about against other coins in the cash register or your pants pocket.
Canada mints the beautiful gold maple leaf coin. The national emblem, a maple leaf, is shown on the reverse against a stunning mirror finish. The current monarch of the Commonwealth is shown on the obverse (not shown). The gold maple is of the highest purity available in a gold coin with a gold content of .9999 fine (24 carats). It is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. Coins minted between 1979 and 1981 have gold content of .999.
The American Gold Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the United States. It was first released by the United States Mint in 1986. It is minted from an alloy of gold, silver and copper to produce a wear-resistant coin of .9167 fine gold (22 karat). The obverse design features a rendition of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings (not shown). Buy coins.
The Canada silver maple is .9999 pure. It has a brilliant mirror finish. The reverse (shown) has a maple leaf, the emblem of Canada. The obverse has the image of the current monarch of the Commonwealth. The silver maple is a high quality coin, minted by the Royal Canadian Mint.
The silver eagle is made by the US Mint. It is .999 pure. It contains one troy ounce of silver.
One of the most cost effective ways to buy silver is the bullion round. It is simply silver minted by one of many companies to have one full ounce of pure silver (typically .999). Various designs are available.
The 90% silver coin was available prior to 1964. When the government under President Lyndon Johnson was no longer able to maintain the fix, he declared silver "too valuable to be used as money" and debased the American coins. Buy coins.
