A Different Sort of "Bullion"

I didn't really buy these for the "bullion" but more for the artwork. That being said, there is a whopping 1/250oz of gold in the 5 Goldbacks and 1/1000oz of gold in the 1 Goldback. Let's see some other unconventional "bullion" if you have them

Pretty cool notes. First of these I've seen, I also like the artwork on older currency.

 

Looks like 1/200 ounce to me? Hey, $7.50 is $7.50...

 

Whoops. You’re right. Dunno how I biffed that....
Either way, I didn’t pay much over the melt value of the gold so I am happy with them.

 

They have $10 and $50 notes as well. I may eventually get those to round out the set.

 

I bought a batch of gold infused notes at a show in the fall for gag gifts for my friends. They contain some infinitesimal fraction of gold but the portrait is of a current controversial figure so I’ll refrain from posting an image. They were a hit at Christmas though.

 

Thanks for not sullying this thread with that image Let’s stick to pretty ladies instead.

 

So, the only way these can be worth anything is to place a stack of a couple thousand of these notes into a crucible, and burn off the paper to get the gold melt value?

 

From what I understand, they are an “alternate” currency. Some stores in Utah accept them along with US cash.

 

Lol I wore my socks of the certain figure, ugly sweater party too. Yuuuge hit! Of course I’m guessing who it is, but I’m fairly sure I’m right.

 

I have the biggest feet. Everybody says so. Trust me. I know feet.

 

They’re perfect, really

 

For some reason, a particular fruit from Georgia and an old Colt single-action army pistol come to mind.
Or is it Billy Dee Williams in a beer commercial?

 

The old BEP souvenir cards of plate prints are an affordable way to collect some beautiful old currency images at a fraction of the cost of the 'real deals' - they also make great gifts for youngsters to get them interested in US history and numismatics as well

 

I like that!
