The Goldback movement

Empowering you with a better currency

Inflation eats away at your money — Goldbacks offer a better option. They are a spendable, inflation-resistant gold currency designed to protect your purchasing power with real gold in your hands.

Since launching in Utah in 2019, the Goldback has expanded to nine state and city series, with a growing network of independent businesses accepting them for everyday transactions. Join the movement and experience the freedom of real gold in your hands.

How they work

Real 24K gold, in a note you can spend

01

Real gold, vacuum-sealed

Each Goldback contains a precise weight of .9999 fine 24-karat gold bonded between layers of durable polymer using a patented vacuum deposition process. The gold cannot be separated from the note without destroying it.

02

Fungible denominations

Denominations range from ¼ (1/4000 oz) up to 100 (1/10 oz). Every Goldback is fully fungible across all state series — a 1 Florida Goldback contains the same gold weight as a 1 Idaho or 1 Utah Goldback.

03

Voluntary local currency

Goldbacks are accepted by thousands of independent businesses across participating states. Use them to pay where both parties agree, or hold them as a tangible store of value.

04

Built-in security

Every note carries multiple anti-counterfeiting measures: unique serial numbers, intricate allegorical artwork, microprinting, a raised reversed image, and (on 2025+ series) UV-reactive ink.
