From the Founder
Gold can be stretched remarkably thin. Gold Currency turns solid .999 fine gold into signed, circulating bills — real 24K gold you can hold, carry, and collect.
What you're buying is gold priced just above spot, with my signature on every piece. I sign each one by hand.
Because I can only sign so many, the premium rises as more bills enter circulation — that's what keeps the project sustainable. This is an experimental, limited release; I can't sign an unlimited amount of gold.
If demand grows, premiums grow with it. If the project succeeds, the premium may climb further. And if it doesn't — you still own the gold.
