9 Piece Idaho Goldbacks Gold Note Set

Description Goldbacks function as a privately issued, voluntary local currency made by laminating a thin layer of 24-karat gold between durable sheets of polyester film. Every note contains detailed artwork and a precise fractional amount of actual gold, making Goldbacks one of the few gold currencies designed for modern-day spending. The concept began in Utah and has since spread to several other states, blending the lasting value of gold with the practicality of everyday exchange. The latest release introduces the Idaho Goldback, adding another denomination with designs inspired by the state. Right now, 9 Piece Idaho Goldback Gold Note Sets are available at our site.

The Idaho Goldbacks each feature a unique design honoring a different part of Idaho’s history. Long before European contact, the land that would become Idaho was home to numerous Indigenous nations, including the Nez Perce, Shoshone, Bannock, Coeur d’Alene, Pend d’Oreilles, and Northern Paiute, each deeply rooted in the region’s diverse terrain and sustained by centuries of intimate knowledge of its resources. American contact began in earnest with the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1805, followed by fur traders, Christian missionaries, and the tide of emigrant settlers who passed through the region along the Oregon Trail in the 1840s, bringing with them profound disruption to Indigenous ways of life. The discovery of gold in the Clearwater region in 1860 sparked a population surge that prompted Congress to establish the Idaho Territory in 1863, setting the stage for decades of mining booms and agricultural expansion.
