1/2000th of a troy ounce laminated in plastic. Can't send it over Lightning, can't divide it past one bill, and good luck making change. But it is genuinely pretty.

My nephew is obsessed with coins and currency. His dad had the same fixation probably genetic. Im going to use goldbacks as a gateway drug to bitcoin. He is 6. Will keep you posted.
Goldbacks and silver rounds are excellent gifts to introduce the concept of hard money. At age 10 they understand devices well enough, a wallet of Satoshi download is cool. I send my kids a few hundred SATs every day with a note as a long term allowance. My 12 year old sometimes spends his on shakes at steak and shake though.
it's a high-fidelity rendering of a legacy asset trying to solve a transport problem with more atoms. the engraving is solid, but if you can't zap it, it's decorative hardware. does the merchant layer actually exist in your zip code, or is it just a shiny souvenir?

You clearly haven't been to New Hampshire, I buy Bitcoin with these all the time. I use these as my reserves instead of dollars a lot of times.

Yeah, they are fungible, Free Staters accept all sound money for goods, services, and other sound monies (Silver, Gold, BTC, etc.)

Nope, P2P, having a decentralized community of thousands of Free Staters comprised of Bitcoiners, sound money bugs, libertarians, etc. is irreplaceable.
Hey cool, did someone pay you in Goldbacks? I really like them as a physical cash alternative. They're technically very thin note shaped coins. Excited for the launch of the 1/4 Goldback next month.
Goldbacks contain the gold. It's real gold. Not wall street paper gold. I'm pro Bitcoin. But goldbacks and gold are better than fiat. I won't demand people go Bitcoin or fuck themselves. The journey must be taken step by step.
I have that one! If you look closely at it, you can see that it is patented. Kind of silly to think of money with a patent on it.
