Why This Goldback Bill is So Revolutionary

In most cases, scaling up is easy, whether you’re doubling a dinner recipe or mowing two lawns. However, when dealing with a product measured in billionths of a meter, the challenges can be much greater. This is why we are so proud to have pioneered the technology to create the 1/10th ounce Goldback bill. This innovative bill completes our entire suite of gold bill denominations, ranging from 1/2000th of an ounce to 1/10th of an ounce, where traditional fractional coins begin.

Creating the 1/10th ounce Goldback took lessons from twelve years of Aurum®development and required us to overcome tremendous challenges. Early on, Aurum bills could only be 200 to 400 nanometers thick, but the gold layer of a 1/10th ounce bill is about 12,000 nanometers! The ways that the gold, film, and ink act together are completely different than those early bills. At these thicknesses the gold can act as a sort of spring, exerting forces that can begin to tear different parts of the gold sandwich apart. The underlying stresses to the materials are also tremendous, as these bills repeatedly pass across a plasma that is hotter than the surface of the sun. Over all our years of research, Valaurum has developed numerous trade secrets to overcome these issues, allowing us to create a valuable bill that has all the beauty and durability Goldback customers have come to expect.

The 1/10th ounce Goldback bill is the thickest commercial product Valaurum has ever manufactured. It’s also the heaviest and most valuable gold product available in a bill format. A 100 stack of these bills has tremendous gravity, with more than $30,000 of raw gold value in the palm of your hand. Unlike comparable coins, these Aurum bills don’t require a $45,000 XRF machine to authenticate: anyone can be confident in their value because they have the greatest security features of any precious metal product on the market. We’re thrilled to have reached this new level with our Aurum technology, and incredibly proud to have launched it with Goldback.
