A pre-1964 silver dime only weighs about 2 grams and is worth ~$2. Why would anyone want these as opposed to just carrying some tiny, lightweight silver coins for small purchases?
Honestly I love the idea of gold for purchases circa $1000 and up, but this just seems to be forcing a square peg into a round hole. I can't see it. Besides the questionable use case, it also seems awfully hard to detect counterfeiting.
I like that you can verify each piece with Goldback.com. I’ve never used these to buy goods/services, but many businesses are starting to accept it, which is a step in the Patriots’ direction.
This has not happened with coins yet (bc the economic depression is still incoming, I believe). I agree that coins are great for a crisis. These are a great swap for cash if SHTF. Here’s a consumer melting down & verifying his own Goldback: https://www.goldback.com/news/verifying-the-gold-in-a-goldback
Serious question. Why?

I understand this...but you need to destroy the note in order to verify it. Doesn't really sound like a practical solution for a merchant.
Well, there are lots of businesses accepting them for payment already, so it’s working for them. You can verify Goldbacks with various 3rd parties without having to melt them down, like Mike Adams’ lab: https://rumble.com/v40vuur-mike-adams-presents-goldback-founder-jeremy-cordon....html
