Help Build the Network
The Limited Early Release (LER) Program gives you exclusive rewards for helping businesses in your state start accepting Goldbacks.
What is the LER Program?
The Limited Early Release program encourages new businesses to accept Goldbacks as payment. For every qualified business you sign up, both you and the business owner receive a limited edition Goldback created for your state’s series.
The LER Program:
- Rewards businesses that agree to take payment in gold.
- Rewards individuals that are building up their community.
- Features limited edition collectibles, created exclusively for each new state release.

How It Works
STEP 1
Find a Business
Identify a business that would be a great fit for accepting Goldbacks as payment.
STEP 2
Fill Out Application
Encourage the business to fill out our application to start accepting Goldbacks. After the application is submitted, we will review the business to ensure it meets our criteria.*
STEP 3
Get Rewarded
Once approved, both you and the merchant will receive a Limited Early Release Goldback while supplies last. For states that don’t have an LER Goldback yet, you’ll receive a graded Silverback. When a series launches in your state, both you and the referred business will receive that state’s LER as well.
Current Limited Early Release Goldbacks

Why It Matters
Signing up merchants grows the Goldback economy and makes the currency more practical for everyone. By participating, you help:
- Protect your community from inflation.
- Support local businesses.
- Provide privacy for all parties involved.

*To qualify for an LER, the business must meet these criteria:
- Referred by You: The merchant must include the referrer’s name. First time referrers must ensure their email, and address are also included. All referrers are individually verified. Individuals who try to game the program by submitting businesses without their knowledge, or fake businesses will be barred from participating.
- Understand Goldbacks: The business must understand what Goldbacks are and be willing to accept them as a form of payment.
- Year-Round Operation: The business must operate year-round (no seasonal businesses).
- In-Person Transactions: Brick-and-mortar locations are preferred, but mobile services (like food trucks) are acceptable. Online-only businesses do not qualify.
- Verifiable Presence: Ideally, the business should have an online presence (website, active social media, Google Maps listing, etc.) so we can verify their authenticity.
- Network Participation: The business must agree to be listed in our merchant network. If they choose not to participate, they won’t qualify for the LER.
- No MLMs: Multi-level marketing businesses are not eligible.
