Goldbacks are beautiful and durable and are both an easily spendable currency and long term store of wealth. Unlike paper fiat currencies, Goldbacks are made of gold, which elevates them from being mere currency to being true money.
Unlike traditional coins, Goldbacks are foldable and slide easily into your wallet, and contain small, precise weights of 24 karat gold laminated between thin protective sheets of plastic. Goldbacks have all the advantages of gold, because they are made of gold: Goldbacks hold their value while paper currencies decline in purchasing power, usually gradually but sometimes, as during an economic crisis, rather suddenly.
Using Goldbacks, like using paper currency, is also a completely private and is independent of the existence of any functioning electronic systems or digital networks. If you have Goldbacks in your wallet, you can buy things even if the power goes out, or the internet is down, or your cellphone is out of range or its battery is dead, or if your bank or even the entire banking system is closed down.
