The Value of Utah Goldbacks
Gold, known for its stability as an investment, takes center stage in Utah Goldbacks. These bills provide a tangible way for individuals to own a piece of this precious metal. In a world where currencies can fluctuate, Utah Goldbacks offer a steadfast and tangible representation of value.
How Utah Goldbacks Work
Shaped like everyday currency notes, these special bills hold 24K gold safely between layers of clear polyester, adding a touch of art to the gold inside. Each Goldback is like a tiny piece of pure gold magic, representing 1/1000 of an ounce. You can get them in different amounts—1, 5, 10, 25, and 50, with more gold as the numbers go up. Crafted by Valaurum, a big-name mint, using a special process that puts gold in super thin sheets protected by plastic. And it doesn’t stop there—there’s even a cool leather wallet made just for Goldbacks! Started with around US$1,000,000 in gold, now over US$20 million worth of Goldbacks are out there, loved by people worldwide for their gold and collector’s value. From local currency in four places to a global sensation, Goldbacks are bringing the bling everywhere!
The legal status of Goldbacks varies across states since local currencies aren’t covered by federal law. The creation of Utah Goldback was inspired by the Utah Legal Tender Act, allowing the adoption of gold and silver as legal tender in the state. Although not formally adopted by the state, the Utah Goldback is privately issued. Proponents argue it falls under legal tender provisions as it’s gold bullion from a recognized and regulated private mint. This was reinforced by the Utah Legislature on March 25, 2022. They expanded the definition of legalized gold, exempting gold with a “polymer holder” from state sales tax. Yet, future legislation or litigation might be needed to clarify Goldback’s legal limits as state legal tender. Notably, Goldback acts as a note for redemption in U.S. Minted Legal Tender Gold coins at the United Precious Metals Association vaults, backed by legal tender money under state and federal law. The first Goldbacks originated in Utah due to the 2011 legalization of gold and silver as legal tender and the strong culture of precious metals appreciation in the state.
The Founders
Behind this innovative currency are visionaries with a passion for redefining the way we perceive and interact with money. The Goldback is a family of local currencies operating in five U.S. states and launched by Goldback, Inc. in Utah in 2019. Goldbacks contain a thin layer of gold within a polymer coating.
