The merchant used at the other end to redeem the gold, the London Gold
Exchange (http://www.londongoldexchange.com), to whom we can sell
e-gold at zero commission, apparently only handles gold at present, and
not any other metals. There may be other merchants in the UK with
reasonable commission levels, who deal in other currencies. Both the
colocation server we run dodo.freenetproject.org (the mailing lists
mostly) on and the project full-time codemonkey are located in the UK at
present. E-gold usually goes to the latter. I don't know if there was a
specific decision not to deal in other metals; we will take anything if
it is cost effective and reasonably convenient. Essentially the problem
with e-metals other than gold is that we need a UK merchant, which I
could not readily find, or it becomes a transfer-to-US-merchant-transfer-
to-bank-account-transfer-to-paypal-paypal-to-coder affair; this is viable
for $200, but it is not viable for $5. Using another merchant to exchange
e-whatever for e-gold is possible, but is not much easier.
Aside:
For example, ordinarily we wouldn't take Yodels, (DMT is a pain in the
ass, and there have been a few scares iirc), but given the project ethos,
and the offer from Yodel to do them for zero commission, if somebody
wanted to send us $50 in yodels we'd probably accept it.

The online form you offer for donations of E-Gold restricts the donation
to e-Gold only, not allowing e-Silver, e-Platinum or e-Palladium. It is
possible to extract from your form you e-Gold account number and use
facilities on the e-GOld website to donate to you in these other forms
of e-metal, however, doing so would be a bad idea if for some reason
you have difficulties utilizing the other e-metals once received into
your e-gold account. What is the case? Do you not want other e-metals?
