I never even knew goldbacks existed, goes to show how valuable they were to me

If I lived in Dakota I might give it a try as currency. To save and hold I would prefer the metal.

This is all true regarding the prices of Goldbacks. But what most people aren't taking into account is the premium is paid only one time versus having to pay multiple times on bullion (assuming they're being used for bartering instead of stacking). Yes if one would be inclined to stack, yeah it doesn't make sense to pay that kind of money for the same weight for an ounce of gold. The other factor is with bullion you have to keep verifying it via acid, melt, weight and etch testing. (which over time gets expensive) Not to mention there are a lot of fake gold products coming in from China and other countries which adds to the problem unfortunately. Where Goldbacks are verified straight from the Aurum factory where they're minted. And they hire a 3rd party company to redo the same tests. Also keep in mind this new type of currency is only 5 years old. And the technology is improving. They're already relatively durable too. They're not perfect, but this a great step to decentralizing from the Jew controlled banks and maintaining off the grid cash. We just gotta educate the public on the benefits this new currency could potentially bring. I'm not against bullion as we have several U.S. Silver eagle coins and other bullion. Until there is a law passed making Silver/Gold plated bullion products illegal and making it a serious felony, we're never going to be able to fully trust these products you know what i mean?
