For as long as precious metals have been valued and traded, prospective investors have been concerned about the potential for counterfeiting.The single most important innovation to protect gold buyers was the coin, a technology that is now over 2,500 years old! Coins have become more complex over this time as minting technologies have developed, but theywere only reliable until enterprising counterfeiters were able to overcome them. Fortunately times (and available technologies) have changed. Valaurumis pioneering new technologies in precious metals, bringing state-of-the-art features into gold bills that interrupt the traditional world of coins and bars. Valaurum and our partner, Goldback, are committed to incorporating cutting-edge security features to produce the most secure gold products the world has seen.

Valaurum’s latest innovation is the UV security feature. Startingin 2025, every Goldback bill issued now has a light-up UV-reactive security feature incorporated into the artwork. This feature is all but invisible to the naked eye, but when anyone shines a UV light on the bill, both the bill’s denomination and the Goldback logo suddenly become visible. This technology will be familiar when border guards check passports under a blacklight during international travel. Far from a simple ink change, bringing in this featurenecessitatedentirely new security printing technology never seen on a Goldback. It also demanded unique research to make the ink invisible on metallic surfaces, ensure it would not contaminate the gold’s purity, and that it would be robust enough to print tens of millions of bills a year. This feature demonstrates our ongoing commitment to having the most secure gold form in the world, and to ensuring every product produced by Valaurum is authentic. The UV security feature took several years to develop, and we are particularly pleased that it does not obscure the look of the gold or diminish the beautiful artwork in any way. Goldback is proud to introduce this enhancement, once again showing their commitment to building trust and value for every gold owner. We are equally proud to have partnered with them to make it a reality.
