Goldbacks are privately issued notes that function as a voluntary local currency by embedding a thin layer of 24-karat gold between protective sheets of polyester film. Each note features detailed artwork along with a specific fractional amount of real gold, making Goldbacks one of the few forms of gold currency created with modern spending in mind. The concept was first introduced in Utah and has gradually expanded to other states, combining the long-standing value of gold with a format suitable for everyday exchange. The newest addition to the series is the Idaho Goldback, which introduces a full set of designs inspired by the state. Right now, 9 Piece Idaho Goldback Gold Note Sets are available at BullionMax.

The Idaho Goldbacks each showcase a different design that highlights part of Idaho’s past. Long before European explorers arrived, the region that is now Idaho was home to many Indigenous peoples, including the Nez Perce, Shoshone, Bannock, Coeur d’Alene, Pend d’Oreilles, and Northern Paiute. These communities lived across the varied landscapes of the region and relied on a deep understanding of local resources that had developed over generations. American exploration increased with the arrival of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805. In the years that followed, fur traders, missionaries, and emigrant settlers traveled through the region along the Oregon Trail during the 1840s, bringing significant changes to the lives of Indigenous communities.
