What Are Goldbacks?
Goldbacks are a form of voluntary, spendable gold currency made from thin layers of real, 24-karat gold encapsulated within durable polymer. Unlike traditional bullion coins or bars, Goldbacks are designed to be used in everyday transactions, with denominations small enough for purchases such as meals, groceries, or services.
Goldbacks are 24-karat gold
Each Goldback contains a precisely measured amount of physical gold, making its value tied to the precious metal it contains rather than to fiat currency alone.
Goldbacks are secure
Every Goldback is protected by multiple anti-counterfeiting measures, including serial numbers, intricate artwork, UV reactive ink, and a raised, reversed image on the back.
Goldbacks are local currency
Because they are made with real gold, Goldbacks appeal to individuals looking for an alternative way to save, preserve purchasing power, or diversify their assets.
How Do Goldbacks Work?
Goldbacks are accepted voluntarily between buyers and sellers. They are not legal tender issued by the U.S. government, but participating businesses and individuals may choose to accept them as payment based on their recognized gold value.
Available in multiple denominations, Goldbacks make fractional gold ownership practical. This allows people to hold and exchange gold in amounts that would be difficult or expensive using traditional gold coins.
Why People Choose Goldbacks
- Real Gold – Every Goldback contains a measured amount of 24-karat gold.
- Fractional Denominations – Small denominations make them practical for everyday transactions.
- Portable Wealth – Lightweight and durable, they're easy to carry and store.

A Different Way to Hold Gold
Unlike traditional bullion, which is often purchased for long-term storage, Goldbacks are designed with circulation in mind. Their innovative manufacturing process allows gold to be divided into spendable denominations while maintaining the integrity and purity of the precious metal.
Whether used for saving, gifting, collecting, or voluntary commerce, Goldbacks offer a unique way to own and use physical gold.
