6 Ways to Use Goldbacks in a State Without a Series

Many Goldback supporters are eagerly awaiting the day their state gets its own series. While we’re working hard to release new series faster, there are still many states in line, and it will take time to reach all 50. We understand that this can feel discouraging, but don’t let that stop you from using Goldbacks to their full potential. You don’t need to wait for your own state series to start supporting or using Goldbacks—and in this article, we’ll tell you how!

1. Educate Others About Sound Money

One of the most powerful ways to use Goldbacks is to educate those around you about sound money. Take the time to explain the value of using gold as currency. Share your knowledge with friends, family, and community members, and show them how Goldbacks can help protect their wealth in today’s economic landscape.

2. Advocate for Precious-Metals-Friendly Legislation

Another way to use Goldbacks in states without a series is by advocating for precious-metals-friendly legislation. Many states that have embraced Goldbacks did so because of favorable laws that recognize gold and silver as legal tender or exempt precious metals from sales tax. Reach out to your state representatives and encourage them to consider similar laws that could make it easier for Goldbacks to be used and accepted in your state.

3. Spend Goldbacks at Participating Businesses

Even if your state doesn’t have its own Goldback series, you can still spend them! We have many merchants outside of Goldback states, and they can be used anywhere that welcomes them as payment. Whether you’re shopping for groceries, dining out, or purchasing goods from local retailers, look for businesses that accept Goldbacks. You can find these businesses through the Goldback merchant map, or simply ask around your community.

4. Give Goldbacks as Gifts and Tips

If there aren’t many businesses around you that accept Goldbacks, don’t worry—there are still plenty of ways to use them! Goldbacks make fun and thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. You can also use Goldbacks as tips for service workers. Tipping with Goldbacks is a great way to introduce others to gold-backed currency and share the wealth.

5. Barter with Goldbacks

In addition to giving Goldbacks as gifts or tips, you can barter with them at small businesses, local markets, or even during garage sales. You could use them for a variety of goods or services—whether it’s a handyman, an artist, or a neighbor offering something for trade. Bartering keeps Goldbacks in circulation, even in areas without an official Goldback series.

6. Protect Yourself from Inflation

If you’re not finding enough opportunities to spend your Goldbacks, you can still hold onto them as a hedge against inflation. Rather than keeping your wealth tied to a devaluing currency, you can safeguard it with Goldbacks. And when Goldbacks eventually reach your state, you’ll be ready with your own personal stack to use.

The Future of Goldbacks

Goldbacks may not yet be available in every state, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them. By educating others, advocating for legislation, or spending them, you help build momentum for future state series.

Our mission is to bring Goldbacks to all 50 states, and together, we can make that vision a reality. Keep the conversation going, use your Goldbacks whenever you can, and be part of the movement toward a sound money future.
