Meet the Goldback – the world’s first physical, interchangeable, self-backing gold money that’s suitable for even small transactions.

Goldbacks are the newest and most innovative way to acquire real, physical gold in a form that’s convenient for everyday use.

At the heart of every Goldback note is a layer of precisely-measured 0.999 pure gold. Using advanced technologies pioneered by Valaurum, 24 karat gold is deposited between two layers of tough, durable polymer. The result is a totally new form of gold bullion that’s flexible, durable, easy to store and use. Every Goldback note is individually serialized and has multiple anti-counterfeiting technologies embedded in its design. Valaurum says their work has never been counterfeited!

Goldbacks are produced in a number of weights and denominated in 1/1000th oz of gold. So a 5 Goldback contains 5/1000th troy oz (same as 1/200th troy oz) and a 50 Goldback contains 50/1000th troy oz (or 1/20th troy oz) of pure gold. Two 50 Goldback notes are the equivalent of a 1/10th oz American gold eagle, which you can tuck into a wallet for quick access. The entire idea of the Goldback note is to create a form of physical gold bullion that’s easy to recognize and easy to use.

Wait, did we just say “easy to use”? That’s right – small businesses that accept cash payments are very often more than happy to accept payment in Goldbacks, too.

Thanks in part to their small fractional weights, these Goldback gold notes make buying physical gold affordable enough that anyone can do it. Small-denomination Goldbacks make everyday transactions with gold (instead of cash) practical. If you don’t just want to buy gold bullion, but you want to put yourself on your own personal gold standard, this may be the solution you’ve been waiting for…

Goldback security and anti-counterfeiting features

Goldbacks are a breakthrough featuring a number of advanced security features.

UV reactive ink: Every Goldback note incorporates ultraviolet-fluorescent components for easy verification under UV light.
Raised reverse image: Each Goldback is manufactured by precisely depositing gold, atom by atom, onto a printed polyester layer. This process produces a unique effect on the reverse side of the note. In unprinted areas the gold holds a high sheen. However, where gold atoms have fallen on the printed artwork the gold acquires a matte finish, providing an embossed effect. This visual contrast can only be created using advanced equipment exclusive to the production process (protected by a number of national and international patents).
Unique serial numbers: Every Goldback note has its own, unique serial number (and year of mintage), making verification a breeze.
Micro-printing: Every Goldback design incorporates multiple micro-printed elements, easily verified with a simple magnifying glass. The level of detail in every note is similar to the anti-counterfeiting designs found in most circulating currencies.

Birch Gold Group brings you gold bullion like you’ve never seen it before. Meet the Goldback. Goldbacks are the latest form of gold bullion, with a precise, micro-thin layer of 24-karat gold right inside each one.

The result is a new form of self-backing intrinsically valuable money. Valorum, the maker of goldbacks, uses patented proprietary technology necessary to create these durable and beautiful notes. Every goldback contains a precise quantity of verifiable, fully recoverable gold.

Cutting-edge, multi-layered anti-counterfeiting features, from microprinting to color-shifted ink, are built into every goldback, and each has its own unique serial number. Valorum tells us they’re more secure than any sovereign currency. Goldbacks are denominated in one thousandth of an ounce of gold, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50, with five denominations available for each of four states and more on the way.

Each goldback has a unique, old-fashioned design. If the Founding Fathers had access to modern technology, this is what money would look like. Available only from Birch Gold Group.

BGG - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Goldbacks?

Goldbacks are self-backing, intrinsically-valuable real gold notes that combine the utility of banknotes (convenient, easy to carry and use) and the value of gold coins.

Valaurum, the manufacturer of Goldbacks, developed the patented, proprietary technology necessary to create Goldbacks. Each Goldback note contains a precise, micro-thin layer of 24 karat gold protected by layers of durable polymer. This technology is used to create a way to physically own gold that is flexible, durable and easy to store.

Every Goldback is denominated in fractions of 1/1000th oz of gold – in other words, in transaction-friendly weights. Goldbacks come in weights of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 thousandths of an ounce (which means that just two 50 Goldback notes contain the same amount of gold as a 1/10th oz American gold eagle).

To date, four separate series of Goldbacks exist: Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, Wyoming. Each series contains the five denominations listed above – meaning there are 20 different Goldback designs.

Regarding those 20 different designs – Goldbacks are beautiful… Each of the four states has its own theme, and each Goldback in the series has its own unique, old-fashioned design featuring a symbolic representation of a virtue. For example, the Wyoming Goldback series (the most recent) features the virtues Reverentia (reverence or respect), Audentia (boldness or fearlessness), Fiducia (trust), Fideletas (loyalty) and Libertas (liberty).

Are Goldbacks legal?

Yes – Goldbacks are a form of gold bullion that’s legal to own, just as American gold eagles or gold bullion bars are legal to own. Even though this is an innovative product incorporating revolutionary new technology, Goldbacks are still a form of physical gold that our Founding Fathers would instantly recognize.

Are Goldbacks eligible for a Precious Metals IRA?

Goldbacks meet eligibility requirements to be placed within a Gold IRA. Please note, at this time, they are not currently available in a Precious Metals IRA from Birch Gold Group.
