Precious metal mining companies who pay dividends (not that there are many) could pay in metal. Who wouldn’t rather have even a few grams of gold, silver or platinum that likely will preserve their value in this era of plunging currencies. Maybe it could be deposited direct into Bullion Vault via a new type of account, to be accumulated or sold when needed. The editor of one of my subscription newsletters couldn’t even be bothered to reply when I suggested it to them but Gumshoe’ers are surely made of sterner stuff.
