Goldbacks are more than just beautiful gold currency, they’re a symbol of sound money, individual freedom, and local value. But what if you live in a place where merchants don’t yet accept them? That’s where our online marketplace, Sound Money Market comes in.

Our marketplace is designed to bridge the gap between Goldbacks and the broader economy, giving you more flexibility in how you use your voluntary currency. Whether you’re looking to shop, dine, travel, or invest in crypto, our platform makes it easy to exchange your Goldbacks for the value you need and when you need it.

What You Can Get on the Marketplace

We’ve created two powerful categories for exchange:

1. Gift Cards

Turn your Goldbacks into digital gift cards from a wide range of categories:

  • Retail: Shop online or in-store at major retailers across the country.  Clothing, books, car parts, fishing gear, lumber, office supplies are just a few of the many products that can be bought with these gift cards from a wide range for retail stores.
