What are Goldbacks?
The Goldback is a physical gold currency designed for everyday transactions. It is a product of Goldback Inc, USA.
Goldbacks are a hyper-fractional, ranging from 1/2000th to 1/10th Oz of .999 purity 24 karat gold.
Using a patented vaccuum deposition technology, Goldback notes are able to securely contain precise amounts of gold between two layers of polymer plastic.
What can I do with Goldbacks?
In their country of origin Goldbacks are being used as legal tender across numerous states as an alternative to the inflation-decaying dollar.
In the UK gold bullion is more widely regarded as a form of investment. Goldbacks have not only lowered the bar for entry into gold ownership, but have inspired many to consider why they should own gold in the first place.
We love the Hollywood, Indiana Jones, Fort Knox million dollar gold bars as much as the next person but in reality these are entirely impractical. For those worrying about that rainy day, Goldbacks are more aligned in value to the goods we need.
If nothing else, we encourage all interested persons to join us in enjoying the simple beauty of these gold notes. Stunning craftsmanship and tasteful artwork combine with the radiant shimmer of pure gold. The days where early adopters of these wonderful notes benefit from collector value alone is already here. So what are you waiting for?
