In Utah where GB started, you can lease them back from 2-4% depending on amount invested and you can also get a debit card issued to you and convert GB back to fiat and staying in their system, no capital gains tax, as well as move funds between a family or child without going through traditional banking systems. Utah is creating a parallel economy to the fiat system. They have a lot of businesses accepting GB.

I guess the attraction of goldbacks is that it is an inflation hedge, and they are easier to use than silver or gold bullion. You spend around $5 per goldback, and vendors will accept them for payment at that rate. The company that makes them even has a calculator on their website to convert between $ and Goldbacks. The advantage over cash is that the value of Goldbacks goes up as the price of gold goes up. Let's say I buy a goldback for $5 today, and put it in my billfold along with 5 dollar bill, and a dozen eggs cost $5 today. A month from now I go to by a dozen eggs, but due to inflation, the price is now the price is $6. In theory, my goldback should now be worth $6 and still pay for the eggs, where the 5 dollar bill is still only $5. I know that Goldbacks have gone up in value since I bought mine. I haven't tried to plot their value increase against inflation to see how well they keep up though.

I love Goldbacks. I have 190 in my stack. I increased the value by nearly 20% this year. I am holding them for barter as it will be easier to explain than 90% silver. Plus, they are somewhat collectible. As for premium, the differential buy/sell is actually small. How much premium is in a $20 fiat bill? Would love to have a local selection. It could help round out a purchase to make the $500 tax threshold. Current value is $5.47 whereas you buy them at $5.14, so immediate $ 0.33 "profit". Is there any fractional gold in your store where you could buy & turn around & sell for more?

The Goldback's low price point could also be a great and very affordable marketing tool for you that can't be accurately measured in just dollars and cents but will enhance customer loyalty. For example, sending purchasers a $1 face value Goldback (about $5 retail) at no charge for orders $500 - $999 and a $5 face value Goldback for orders totaling $1000 or more.
