According to the website, "Instantly, you can turn your eroding paper money into what it was once promised to have – a precious metals backing. What this means for you is that every dollar you invest in your Golden Lion Pride Account will be matched in value in solid gold or silver held in our secure, insured bullion bank."

Once you have a Golden Lion Pride account set up you will be able to add to it in any amount you choose. If you sent, for example, $1000 to be added to your account, then your order would be activated during normal market hours and applied toward the purchase of your bars of gold or silver.
