Initially introduced in Utah following the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2019, they serve as a voluntary currency, allowing transactions at the vendor’s discretion. Since then, additional states—Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota—have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with Florida recently becoming the sixth state to adopt this unique form of currency.Currency Highlights:

The Florida Half Goldback
The Florida Half Goldback embodies the virtue “Spes” (Hope) through the figure of a Spanish conquistador kneeling before the mythical Fountain of Youth, symbolizing humanity’s enduring pursuit of renewal and possibility. Set within a lush tropical landscape, the scene intertwines history and myth, featuring the fleur-de-lis emblem of exploration and the year 1513 etched in stone, commemorating Juan Ponce de León’s voyage inspired by Timucua legends. Surrounding elements, such as the resilient mockingbird, the transformative Zebra Longwing butterfly, and the Florida Cracker horse, reflect perseverance and endurance. A conch shell at the water’s edge honors Florida’s indigenous Timucua culture, while the artwork pays tribute to explorers’ ambitions and Florida’s legacy as the site of St. Augustine, the oldest permanent European settlement in the United States. Rich in symbolism, this design celebrates the enduring principle, “Blessed are the meek,” and Florida’s vibrant history.
Goldbacks
The Goldback® is a revolutionary form of currency crafted from 24-karat gold, offering a reliable alternative as the American dollar continues to lose value. Each Goldback is designed to preserve purchasing power over time, addressing the age-old “small coin problem” by allowing people to make everyday transactions with real gold. While inflation erodes the value of paper currency, the Goldback’s intrinsic gold content ensures that it will hold its worth.
Recognized as legal tender in states like Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, New Hampshire, and South Dakota, Goldbacks can be traded or bartered like other non-current forms of currency worldwide. This currency blends gold’s enduring value with modern craftsmanship, providing a versatile and practical means of exchange that won’t depreciate, making it a sound choice for those seeking stability in their everyday spending.
