Years ago I tinkered with GoldMoney to check it out. It seems like a decent option to have a position in precious metals if you don't want to worry about securely storing the metals yourself. I think there is an option to have the metals in your account delivered to you after you buy a certain amount. I never did this.
The problem many in the precious metals community had with something like GoldMoney is that you have to trust them to actually buy and store the metal you purchase and that they would actually deliver the metal when requested. So precious metals bugs would say that defeats the main purpose of buying precious metals in terms of an insurance against inflation and catastrophe in financial markets, etc. And that if you can't hold the metal in your hand do your really own it.
