Vault Metals Storage Program:

Frequently asked questions

Q. Why did Money Metals introduce Vault Metals when you already offer so many affordable precious metals formats?

A. Demand for hold-in-your-hand forms of silver and gold recently eclipsed historic levels, resulting in short supplies, high premiums, and unwelcome shipping delays... particularly at Money Metals' competitors. Vault Gold, Vault Silver, Vault Platinum, Vault Palladium, and Vault Rhodium, in contrast, are in ample supply, are still available at super-low premiums, and are not impacted by delays in processing or shipping.

Q. What exactly are "Vault Metals"?

A. Vault Metals are large “bricks” of very pure gold, silver, and other precious metals – think of a pound cake but made from solid gold or silver. Ownership in this highly efficient form has long been the hands-down preference of institutional investors – such as royalty, billionaires, national reserves, and very large banks (in New York, London, Hong Kong).

Until now, ownership of large commercial bars has been unattainable to the individual investor. But now, Money Metals is providing you a way to take direct ownership in the most cost-efficient form of the metal through allocations in your own storage account of as many ounces as you wish (minimum purchase sizes will apply).

Q. How does storage work with Vault Metals?

A. Your gold and silver ounces are held in secure, third-party vaults, and are held in bailment within your storage account. Your holdings are guaranteed and insured, stored in a Money Metals Depository account located within super-secure facilities in Massachusetts, Delaware, or Idaho. (Modest storage charges apply, typically more than made up for by the savings you'll enjoy from purchasing your metals for the lowest possible premiums.)

Q. What happens when I want to sell?

Your Vault Gold, Vault Silver, Vault Platinum, Vault Palladium, and Vault Rhodium ounces can be liquidated 24/7 at the spot price – you can always cash out quickly, with no shipping hassles. You can also exchange your Vault Metals holdings for precious metals we can ship directly to your door (charges may apply) -- or, even though certain large commercial bars are too risky to ship via common carriers, you can still have certain items shipped or otherwise arrange to take direct personal possession of your Vault Metals holdings by picking up the commercial bars at our depository.

You'll have a real savings account, one that cannot default and that maintains purchasing power forever – huge advantages over paper investments and electronic digits!
