OREGON CITY, OREGON / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / The Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) and the USDA Forest Service (USDA) announced the winners of the 2025 Mass Timber Competition: Building Sustainable Schools. This year’s competition awarded $1.8 million to support projects that accelerate the adoption of mass timber in the United States, with a dedicated focus on K-12 educational environments.

The winning projects demonstrate how biophilic design with mass timber can strengthen academic performance, improve teacher and staff well-being, and create healthier, more resilient learning spaces for students. This marks the third cycle of the competition, which has already advanced a range of innovative mass timber projects nationwide.

“Mass timber is a revolutionary building material-and in schools, a pathway to better learning and stronger communities. By integrating the principles of biophilia into K-12 learning environments, these winning projects will demonstrate how wood can support academic achievement, teacher satisfaction, and long-term sustainability. The SLB is proud to help accelerate adoption where it matters most: in the classrooms that shape our future,” said Cees de Jager, President and CEO of the SLB.

“Sustainably harvested timber plays a critical role in improving the health and resilience of America’s forests, while providing the raw material for schools that inspire and uplift. By linking responsible forest management with the needs of K-12 communities, these projects show how the benefits of mass timber reach from our forests directly into classrooms – where students, educators, and families all stand to gain,” added John Crockett, USDA Forest Service Deputy Chief for State, Private, and Tribal Forestry.

This year’s winning proposals included:

Cleveland High School

Portland, Oregon – Project Team: Portland Public Schools, Mahlum Architects, Studio Petretti Architects, KPFF Structural Engineering, Code Bird Consulting, Skanska

Cleveland High School sits on a small urban site that has filled up as the school has grown over the years, leaving little open or outdoor space for students to socialize or even eat lunch. The new 1,700 student Cleveland High School will consist of two four-story towers surrounding a courtyard that provides outdoor space for learning, socializing, and athletics, and connected by a mass timber framed bridge. Most of the classrooms and a variety of other spaces will be located in a Type-IV HT mass timber structure, with acoustic DLT (ADLT) floors eliminating the need for extensive acoustic tile ceilings in classrooms.

New Lawton Elementary School

Ann Arbor, Michigan – Project Team: Ann Arbor Public Schools, Gilbane Building Company, Quinn Evans Architects, Brix Corporation

This new elementary school will deliver a 21st-century learning environment with strong indoor-outdoor connections, Passive House performance, and US-CHPS “Verified Leader” certification. Net-zero-ready and all-electric, the project emphasizes wellness, daylighting, and sustainability while preserving the site’s iconic legacy oak tree. The superstructure is designed to maximize carbon reduction through a primarily mass timber system, with CLT floor and roof decks and glulam beams, girders, and columns. Exposed timber will define key spaces such as the library, café, and gathering heart, providing both structural efficiency and biophilic impact.

New Central Maui School

Waikapu, Hawaii – Project Team: Hawaii School Facilities Authority, Hawaii Off Grid, MKThink, R.T. Tanaka Engineers, Mo’olelo Group

Addressing urgent community needs following the Lahaina wildfire and regional population growth, this new middle school will initially serve 300-600 students, expanding over time to 1,150. Designed as a community school, its facilities will serve both students and the broader community, with the cafetorium doubling as an emergency shelter. The structural system is planned as slab-on-grade with glulam posts and beams supporting CLT, NLT, or DLT roof framing and select partition walls. By deploying a comprehensive mass timber system across classroom and communal spaces, the project both reduces carbon and showcases wood’s role in resilient community infrastructure.

Whittier Elementary School

Washington, D.C. – Project Team: Hord Coplan Macht, DC Public Schools, MCN, CMTA, SKA Engineers

This net-zero renovation and expansion of Whittier will more than double the school’s space while preserving its historic main building. The mass timber addition will include a library, STEM and art classrooms, a gym, a cafeteria, and outdoor green space. With support from the competition, the project team is exploring substituting the originally planned steel framing with CLT and glulam systems supplied. Timber would be featured in highly visible learning spaces to integrate with Whittier’s sustainability curriculum, while span optimization and cost modeling are being used to confirm its viability as an economical and educationally enriching choice.

About the Competition

The 2025 Mass Timber Competition sought to highlight the unique advantages of mass timber in K-12 educational projects, including classrooms, libraries, athletic facilities, daycare centers, and vocational training centers. Eligible applicants included U.S.-based for-profit firms, nonprofit organizations, school districts, local governments, and Native American tribal governments.

WoodWorks, a nonprofit staffed with structural engineers, architects, and construction experts, conducted the technical screening and evaluation of entries. Finalists were selected by an independent jury representing architecture, structural engineering, construction, education, and sustainability. The jury included:

• Suni Dillard, Sustainability Leader at HMFH Architects

• John Hand, Associate Principal at Arup

• Esther Liu, President and CEO of LSW Architects

• Catie Ryan, Associate Partner at Terrapin Bright Green

• Craig Schiller, Executive Director of the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS)

• Heather Stegner, COO of the American Wood Council

• Andrew Waugh, Founder and Director of Waugh Thistleton Architects

• Antony Wood, Professor at Illinois Institute of Technology

Winning projects exemplify how mass timber can deliver scalable, repeatable models for educational facilities across the U.S. Award recipients have pledged to share lessons learned-including cost analyses, life cycle assessments, and design insights-with the broader construction and education communities.

Douglas A. Gosselin Releases Mute Telemetry: Entangled Signals of Time and Place, a Sequel That Turns Language Into a Weapon.

The author of the acclaimed Doctrine of Shadows and Phantom Patriot returns with the next installment in the Narravox series, where silence, control, and memory collide.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Douglas A. Gosselin, author of the acclaimed Doctrine of Shadows and the award-nominated Phantom Patriot, announces the release of his newest novel, Mute Telemetry: Entangled Signals of Time and Place. The book is the second in the Narravox series, which began with False Foreword: The Algorithm is the Weapon. In this sequel, Gosselin examines what happens when communication itself becomes contagious and when stories, once told, refuse to die.

A former military strategist turned novelist, Gosselin is known for precise, historically grounded storytelling and for his focus on moral consequence. His Secrets of the Republic series, beginning with Pawn to King’s End, established him as a distinctive voice in historically rooted espionage fiction. His Southern Gothic novella The Hollow That Ate the Sun and the novels Phantom Patriot and Doctrine of Shadows received critical praise from Kirkus Reviews for tension, structure, and emotional resonance.

“Gosselin writes with the discipline of an analyst and the empathy of a witness. Mute Telemetry transforms silence into signal. Every word is measured, and every consequence is earned,” said an advance editorial review.

Mute Telemetry continues Gosselin’s exploration of how technology, memory, and morality intersect across eras. The story moves through containment failures and psychological unraveling. It blurs the line between history and possibility and shows how stories can become both evidence and contagion.

The question driving this novel is simple and devastating: “what if the story we are telling is already telling us?” said the author Douglas A. Gosselin. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gosselin is the author of The Hollow That Ate the Sun, Doctrine of Shadows, Phantom Patriot, and Pawn to King’s End. A retired military strategist and genealogist, he writes fiction that fuses emotional precision with historical authenticity. Kirkus Reviews has praised his work for moral weight, clarity, and structural rigor. Gosselin lives in Texas, where he continues to explore the boundaries between silence, consequence, and truth.

SHELTON, CONNECTICUT / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), announced that Nanoviricides CEO Dr Anil Diwan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share major progress in the company’s antiviral research in a video interview. The interview can be viewed at https://youtu.be/m_3Yk4_832E .

From the Proactive website, explaining the video content (https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/1081157/nanoviricides-nv-387-shows-potent-anti-measles-activity-highlighting-broad-spectrum-potential.html):

“Dr. Diwan shared that the Company’s clinical lead drug NV-387 has demonstrated potent activity against the Measles virus in both cell culture studies and a humanized animal model. Notably, the treatment also protected lung tissue, a critical factor in preventing death from severe, late-stage viral infections. Currently, there are no approved drugs for treating Measles, making these findings especially significant amid rising global outbreaks.

Dr. Diwan explained that NV-387 produced direct antiviral effects in standard Cytopathic Effects assays, where treated cells showed increased survival compared to untreated controls. In the lethal Measles infection model, NV-387 treatment extended survival by 130% – from 7.4 days in untreated animals to 17 days in treated ones – underscoring its strong therapeutic potential ^[1].

Importantly, NV-387 has already completed Phase I human trials, demonstrating no reportable adverse events and confirming that the drug is safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects.

Dr. Diwan added that NanoViricides is now positioned to support emergency use applications of NV-387 for Measles patients under FDA guidelines. The company is also open to Physician’s Investigator-Initiated INDs for treating individual or small groups of patients in urgent cases. NV-387 is formulated as oral gummies, which dissolve slowly in the mouth and do not require swallowing – a key advantage for patients suffering from rashes or throat irritation associated with Measles infection.

The same drug, NV-387 is advancing into Phase II clinical trial for the evaluation of safety and effectiveness in the treatment of MPox, noted Dr. Diwan. There is no approved treatment for MPox. “

^[1] Added explanation: Humanized mice were required for the animal model because Measles virus only infects humans, and specifically uses hSLAM as the cognate receptor for cell entry, while using the ubiquitous HSPG for congregation next to cells. The mice had human hSLAM (aka hCD150) gene knocked-in, and also had their interferon responses deleted (hSLAM+k.i., IfnAR-/- transgenic mice on C57BL/6 Background). NV-387 mimics the portions on HSPG that viruses bind to, including the Measles virus, and thereby is designed to attack and engulf the virus particle via lipid-lipid mixing and destroying the virus particle’s ability to infect cells.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Gold has always symbolized permanence, wealth, and beauty. What it has never offered is proof. To be fair, it never had to. But the times have changed. Consumers demand accountability, the world is demanding sustainability in manufacturing, and businesses want to do everything they can to maintain a positive, progressive image. Satisfying everyone used to be a tall order. Even impossible on any type of scale. Not anymore.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) and its majority-owned subsidiary, trueGold, are doing something others only dreamed of: changing the rules mid-game to bring verifiable truth to the luxury metals that define status and value.

What supports such an aggressive move? SMX and trueGold’s patented molecular-marking technology, which creates an invisible, tamper-proof signature that follows gold from mine to market and back again through recycling. Each gram, or whatever weight for that matter, is embedded with a unique molecular ID that cannot be separated from the metal. After that, every step, from refining to retail and back again, is recorded on SMX’s secure digital registry. The result is a self-authenticating material; gold that remembers its entire life story.

For brands that depend on trust and consumers who demand proof, that story is becoming priceless.

Ethical Luxury Gets Its Proof of Life

The luxury market has always traded on heritage and emotion, but modern buyers want data to match the promise. Research from IBM shows that over 70% of consumers would pay almost 40% more for transparent and traceable products, while PwC reports an average 9.7% premium for sustainably sourced goods. Those numbers aren’t trends; they’re signals.

And the industry has the opportunity to follow their lead. By embedding molecular memory directly into the gold, SMX and trueGold let jewelers, watchmakers, and investors verify authenticity, ethical origin, and recycled content instantly through each piece’s embedded digital passport that confirms its life journey. That data instantly turns sustainability from a tagline into a tangible feature.

Better still, it introduces a level of integrity that can reshape brand value itself. Provenance is no longer a tagline or an afterthought. It is a measurable, scannable asset that strengthens reputation and lifts margins at the same time.

The Science of Trust

Driving this breakthrough is trueGold’s marker, reader, and block-chain-secured registry. The marker is applied at the mine and persists through every stage of transformation-melting, refining, alloying, or polishing. By the way, independent testing by Intertek, under the AnchorCert Pro 2 protocol, confirmed the marker’s full compliance with safety and quality standards in Europe, the United States, and Canada. It’s chemically inert, skin-safe, and undetectable in daily wear.

This allows brands to offer the assurance of traceability without compromising artistry or craftsmanship. A hand-finished gold ring or luxury watch can now carry invisible proof of its ethical sourcing while retaining the purity and luster that define high-end jewelry.

It’s science working quietly behind beauty. Evidence without intrusion that certainly changes the provenance landscape.

Where Responsibility Meets Reward

For decades, the precious-metals supply chain has relied on certificates, audits, and trust between intermediaries. Yet each layer of paperwork introduces potential breaks in the chain of custody. trueGold closes those gaps. The molecular marker cannot be forged or removed, and every transfer of ownership is captured digitally, creating a single, verifiable record of truth.

That transparency resonates with investors as much as it does with consumers. Brands using trueGold’s system can substantiate their ESG claims, align with global frameworks such as the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the European Union’s Digital Product Passport, and streamline compliance costs that often drain profit.

By turning regulation into verification, SMX helps convert sustainability into revenue. Proof, in this context, becomes the new profit center.

Building the Future of Ethical Wealth

The impact extends far beyond bullion bars and coins. By marking gold that can survive the recycling process, trueGold enables a circular economy for precious metals. The same atoms that once adorned jewelry can be recovered, re-marked, and reused without losing their certified identity. It’s sustainability with a serial number.

For centuries, gold was admired for its permanence. Now, it carries permanence and provenance. Through trueGold, SMX is proving that ethics and elegance are not opposites-they are inseparable. Consumers get confidence. Brands gain credibility. Investors see measurable value. Every participant in the supply chain benefits from the same undeniable truth: gold can now prove itself. And that can add significantly to its already soaring value.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Gold has always symbolized permanence, wealth, and beauty. What it has never offered is proof of its origin, how it was mined, or who was involved in the process. Now, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) and its majority-owned subsidiary, trueGold, are changing that, bringing verifiable truth to the luxury metals that define status and value.

That’s made possible by SMX and trueGold’s patented molecular-marking technology that creates an invisible, tamper-proof signature that follows gold from mine to market and back again through recycling. Each gram, ounce, pound, or even ton is given a unique molecular ID that cannot be separated from the metal. That ensures that every step, from refining to retail, is recorded on a secure digital registry. The result is a self-authenticating material. In this case, gold that remembers its life story.

For brands that depend on trust and consumers who demand proof, that story is becoming priceless.

Ethical Luxury Gets Its Proof of Life

The luxury market has always traded on heritage and emotion, but modern buyers want data to match the promise. Research from IBM shows that 70% of consumers would pay significantly more for transparent and traceable products, while PwC reports an average 9.7% premium for sustainably sourced goods. Those numbers aren’t trends; they’re signals.

And they point in the same direction: consumers want change. By embedding molecular memory directly into the gold, SMX and trueGold deliver it by letting jewelers, watchmakers, and stakeholders verify authenticity, ethical origin, and recycled content instantly through what SMX calls a “digital passport,” which confirms each piece or lot’s journey, turning sustainability from a tagline into a tangible feature.

That level of integrity is redefining brand value. Provenance is no longer an afterthought in marketing copy; it’s a measurable, scannable attribute that can increase margin while strengthening reputation.

The Science of Trust

At the center of this breakthrough is SMX’s marker, reader, and block-chain-secured registry. The marker is applied at the mine and persists through every stage of transformation – melting, refining, alloying, or polishing. Independent testing by Intertek, under the AnchorCert Pro 2 protocol, confirmed the marker’s full compliance with safety and quality standards in Europe, the United States, and Canada. It’s chemically inert, skin-safe, and undetectable in daily wear.

This allows brands to offer the assurance of traceability without compromising artistry or craftsmanship. A hand-finished gold ring or luxury watch can now carry invisible proof of its ethical sourcing while retaining the purity and luster that define high-end jewelry.

It’s science working quietly behind beauty; evidence without intrusion.

Where Responsibility Meets Reward

And it replaces decades of the precious metals supply chain relying on certificates, audits, and trust between intermediaries. That system has always run the risk of not following potential breaks in the chain of custody. trueGold closes those gaps. The molecular marker cannot be forged or removed, and every transfer of ownership is captured digitally, creating a single, verifiable record of truth.

That transparency resonates with investors as much as it does with consumers. Brands using trueGold’s system can substantiate their ESG claims, align with global frameworks such as the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the European Union’s Digital Product Passport, and streamline compliance costs that often drain profit.

By turning regulation into verification, SMX helps convert sustainability into revenue. Proof, in this context, becomes the new profit center.

Building the Future of Ethical Wealth

SMX’s partnership ecosystem strengthens the reach and reliability of trueGold’s platform. Ava Global secures logistics and verifies physical custody at each checkpoint, while Fingo adds a layer of digital authentication to restrict access to authorized handlers. Together, they form an unbroken bridge between the physical and digital worlds of gold.

The impact extends far beyond bullion bars and coins. By marking gold that can survive the recycling process, trueGold enables a circular economy for precious metals. The same atoms that once adorned jewelry can be recovered, re-marked, and reused without losing their certified identity. It’s sustainability with a serial number.

Proof Is the New Luxury

For centuries, gold was admired for its permanence. Now, through SMX and trueGold, it can carry permanence and provenance. Not only that, it proves that ethics and elegance are not opposites; they are inseparable.

Consumers get confidence. Brands gain credibility. Stakeholders see measurable value. Every participant in the supply chain benefits from the same undeniable truth: gold can now prove itself.

That’s not a marketing evolution; it’s a market correction. Proof has become the ultimate mark of luxury, and SMX and trueGold are the company’s minting it.

BAD HOMBURG, GERMANY / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Maxon, maker of powerful, approachable software solutions for creators working in 2D and 3D design, motion graphics, visual effects, and more, today announced the appointment of Ksenia Kolchina as Vice President of Marketing.

ISTANBUL, TR / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Istanbul has emerged as a global hub for dental tourism, attracting patients from the US, UK, and Australia seeking cutting-edge dental solutions. Among the most sought-after procedures are full-mouth restorations, full mouth implants (All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants), and comprehensive smile makeovers that include cosmetic and restorative treatments at the same time. Understanding clinic specialization, implant brands, and treatment workflow is essential for achieving natural, durable, and functional results.

All-on-4 & All-on-6: The Modern Approach to Complete Dental Reconstruction

Full-mouth restorations often require All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants, designed to support bridges or overdentures with minimal surgery. These systems provide stability even in patients with reduced bone volume, reducing the need for extensive bone grafting. Clinics in Istanbul, like Vera Smile, employ advanced 3D imaging and digital planning to map optimal implant placement, ensuring predictable outcomes and minimizing complications.

“Through my visits, we became like a family. When my treatment was complete and I bit into an apple for the first time, I cried, and even the team cried with me, sharing in my happiness. It’s not just about the smile; it’s about the connections, the laughter, and the journey from hiding in the shadows to shining like a diamond,” said Nix A., (a patient of Vera Smile).

Smile Makeover Complexity and Specialization

Full-mouth restorations often go hand-in-hand with smile makeovers, which require multiple specialists working in harmony. The process involves:

● Prosthodontists, who determine the ideal tooth and gum color and select appropriate materials.

● Cosmetic dentists, who focus on aesthetics and overall smile appearance. ● Implant surgeons, who ensure accurate placement of each implant.

Full-mouth treatments may integrate veneers, crowns, and implants, creating a complex workflow that demands expert coordination. Clinics like Vera Smile bring together all these specialists, ensuring both function and aesthetics are optimized for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Cost Considerations for Full-Mouth Restoration

The price of a full-mouth dental implant varies based on the number of implants, materials, and complexity. All-on-X implants in Istanbul typically start from €4,500 per arch. Full-mouth restorations that combine crowns, veneers, and implants may cost more, reflecting the multi-specialist approach and premium materials used. Transparent pricing and all-inclusive packages, such as those offered at Vera Smile, help patients understand costs upfront.

Longevity and Premium Implant Benefits

Premium implant brands, including Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and MIS, are favored by top Istanbul clinics for their durability, osseointegration, and long-term predictability. While these implants carry higher initial costs, they significantly reduce complications and revisions, particularly for complex or full-mouth restorations. Patients seeking a full-mouth dental implant in Istanbul with warranty benefit from the reliability and longevity of these systems.

Clinician Recommendations and Best Clinics for Complex Cases

For comprehensive treatments like full-mouth restorations, All-on-4/All-on-6 procedures, and smile makeovers, choosing a specialized clinic is critical. Vera Smile stands out as the best dental clinic in Turkey for full-mouth restoration, integrating surgical precision, cosmetic

expertise, and prosthodontic planning under one roof. Digital smile design, advanced 3D planning, and structured post-operative care ensure patients achieve predictable, functional, and aesthetic results.

Conclusion

Full-mouth restorations and smile makeovers in Istanbul demand a coordinated, specialist-driven approach. By selecting experienced clinicians and premium implant systems, patients can achieve durable, natural-looking results. Clinics like Vera Smile exemplify this model, combining All-on-4/All-on-6 implants, cosmetic planning, and prosthodontic expertise to create confident, lasting smiles. Investing in the right clinic and implant brand ensures both function and aesthetics for years to come.

EAGLE, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Money Metals announced an expanded selection of fractional gold coins, rounds, bars, and other items designed to make gold ownership accessible at almost any budget.

The lineup includes 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce pieces, along with gram-denominated bars and divisible products.

Many people, especially those at a popular big-box wholesale retailer, still believe they must buy gold in one-ounce increments.

If that were true, starting a position would be out of reach for many households because gold is now over $4,000 per ounce.

Fractional gold changes that by letting customers begin with smaller, affordable pieces and build over time.

“Too many people still believe they have to buy gold a full ounce at a time,” said Stefan Gleason, CEO of Money Metals. “That myth keeps new investors on the sidelines. Our fractional gold lineup lets customers start with as little as a gram or a tenth of an ounce-without compromising on quality, brand recognition, or resale flexibility.”

WHY FRACTIONAL GOLD NOW

The U.S. dollar, or Federal Reserve Note, has lost the vast majority of its purchasing power over the last century. The Federal Reserve’s stated inflation target means dollars are intended to lose buying power every year, even in normal times.

When inflation is 2 percent, the dollar’s buying power falls by roughly 2 percent over that year. In hotter periods, such as the past 6 years, the loss is even greater.

Gold has historically tended to preserve purchasing power over long spans, which is why many savers use it as a hedge against ongoing currency debasement.

Fractional pieces make this strategy practical. Buyers can add to their holdings on a schedule, average through volatility, and stay engaged during fast price moves without waiting to afford a full ounce.

WHAT MONEY METALS IS OFFERING

The catalog features fractional sovereign coins such as American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, British Britannias, Austrian Philharmonics, Australian Kangaroos, South African Krugerrands, and Chinese Pandas. Historic world issues, including British Sovereigns and classic European and Latin denominations, are available when in stock.

Private-mint rounds provide recognizable bullion in popular fractional sizes (e.g., 1/200, 1/100, 1/10, ¼, ½ ounce). Many privately minted gold rounds resemble famous coins but lack a legal tender face value and typically have a lower markup.

Assay-sealed bars from established refiners, including Valcambi, PAMP, Geiger, Argor-Heraeus, Perth, Holy Land Mint, and Money Metals’ own brand, cover 1/2 gram through 20 grams and select fractional ounce formats.

Gold notes, like those by Goldback and Aurum, add a portable and divisible option, including state-inspired series and convenient bundles.

“Whether you prefer the broad recognizability of sovereign coins, the value and protective packaging of assay-sealed bars, or the flexibility of fractional rounds, Money Metals’ vast product options offer the right option for your goals,” said Stefan Gleason.

“Because we actively sell and buy back these items every day, customers benefit from competitive pricing, liquidity, and tight spreads across the board.”

BENEFITS FOR NEW AND SEASONED BUYERS

Smaller denominations lower the cash outlay required to get started and help buyers maintain discipline during market swings. They also improve flexibility at sale time because investors can liquidate precisely the amount they need rather than part with a whole ounce.

In historical cases, fractional gold served as a means of barter with less gold, which allowed for bartering elsewhere with the remaining holdings.

For cost-conscious buyers, 1/4 ounce coins often balance premium and flexibility. Those building gradually frequently choose 1/10 ounce coins or 1/2 to 5-gram bars.

Assay-sealed bars and random-year or “brand our choice” options can further reduce the per-ounce cost while maintaining recognized purity and packaging.

HOW TO BUY AND STORE

Customers can shop the full fractional gold selection at MoneyMetals.com around the clock.

Phone ordering is available at 1-800-800-1865 with price locks and multiple payment options, including credit card, debit card, cryptocurrency, ACH, and wire.

For secure storage, the Money Metals Depository offers fully segregated vaulting with transparent, low fees. Customers can view and audit their holdings according to their preferences.

Money Metals maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and is widely recognized as an invaluable and trustworthy source for precious metals investing and precious metals related news.
