What is a South Dakota Goldback?
A South Dakota Goldback is a physical note of real 24-karat gold, precisely vacuum-deposited onto a durable polymer substrate and printed with original South Dakota-themed artwork honoring Truth, Temperance, Diligence, Kindness, and Humility. It's part of the Goldback currency system — designed to be spent, saved, or collected — and each note carries a unique serial number so its authenticity can be independently verified.
