 Founding  The United Precious Metals Association, a non-profit was founded from 'Citizens for Sound Money' in 2011 by Lawrence Hilton after the passage of the Legal Tender Act. The primary mission of UPMA is to facilitate the use of legal tender gold and silver.

Early Days The first service offered by UPMA was 'The Liquid Gold Program', this consisted of an account denominated in gold dollars as well as a bill pay service. Members could deposit gold dollars at UPMA in the form of Gold Eagles and Gold Buffalos and then spend those through the bill pay service. From 2011 to the fall of 2015 there were only a few part-time employees.
