Goldbacks resemble standard paper currency in shape but are made with thin layers of 24-karat gold. 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, South Dakota, Florida and Oklahoma—have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with Arizona recently becoming the seventh state to adopt this unique form of currency.

Currency Highlights:

• Contains 1/20 oz (0.05 oz) of .999 fine gold.
• Individual notes are housed in a protective sleeve or sealed pouch.
• Face: Features a young woman gazing skyward with a book embossed with Pluto’s symbol and a telescope; observatory dome and star-studded sky in the background.. The vintage newspaper clipping recalls Pluto’s historical recognition; Pluto and Charon appear above, illustrating evolving discovery.
• Made in the USA by Goldback Inc., using proprietary Aurum® technology to create durable, gold-backed currency.

About Arizona 50 Goldback
Set high in northern Arizona’s crisp mountain air, the Arizona 50 Goldback celebrates the discovery of Pluto by 24-year-old Clyde Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in 1930. This Goldback personifies the virtue of Curiositas, or Curiosity, through a young woman holding a book embossed with Pluto’s symbol in one hand and a telescope in the other. Behind her, the iconic observatory dome rises under a star-studded sky, while a vintage newspaper clipping recalls headlines proclaiming Pluto as the ninth planet.

Above, Pluto and its moon Charon appear, reminding us that discovery is always evolving. Once celebrated as the ninth planet and later reclassified as a dwarf planet, Pluto’s story illustrates science’s evolving nature and the lasting magic of curiosity. Lowell Observatory continues to inspire generations through research and public stargazing programs, making this Goldback a tribute to the enduring spirit of exploration. Written along the bottom is the enduring principle: “Be still and trust God.”

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.
