South Dakota 1/200th Troy OZ 24KT Gold (5) 2024

Introducing the revolutionary Goldback: the world's premier voluntary currency crafted from exquisite, spendable, small-denomination physical gold.

With the landmark passage of the Utah Legal Tender Act in 2011, gold reclaimed its rightful place as an official form of currency, signaling a pivotal moment in financial history.

Since then, advancements in technology have enabled the meticulous minting of physical gold into a practical form for everyday transactions. Utilizing state-of-the-art vacuum deposition technology, each Goldback bill is meticulously layered with .9999 fine gold, ensuring unparalleled durability and resilience.

South Dakota proudly joins the esteemed lineup of states commemorated on Goldback bills, standing as a testament to the nationwide effort to restore integrity to currency.
