There’s a new way to buy gold, and in this case, this new type of gold takes you back to an era when gold was affordable and spendable. Modern gold notes come with a variety of unique designs and, in some cases, legal tender status in foreign countries. In the case of Goldbacks, Americans have the potential to hold spendable gold in their hands with this new form of voluntary currency.
As you shop for gold notes, you’ll find no shortage of variety. There are notes available that represent one-off issues and notes available that offer unique designs as part of an ongoing collection.
