For those of you interested in alternative currencies or just want a piece of gold, you can get a free Goldback in the mail through this link. They're used in some U.S. states as alternative currencies / bartering and physically embed gold within the note so that the collateral is physically with the currency and makes up ~50% of the market value.
Not really news, but I couldn't find a better category.

Right - I was referring to the currency being Goldbacks, not a 1 Goldback bill (if that's what you're saying)
