Oklahoma became the seventh state in the Goldback lineup when the series was unveiled at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Oklahoma City in August 2025<\/a>. The set runs eight standard denominations \u2014 a fractional 1\/2 note through a 100 \u2014 plus a limited-edition 3 Goldback that’s the first denomination of its kind in the entire Goldback series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you collect state series or buy fractional gold, here’s what’s in the set and what to expect when you shop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Goldbacks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goldbacks are privately issued notes from Goldback, Inc. that use Valaurum’s patented Aurum process to bond .9999 fine 24-karat gold between thin polymer layers. The result is a flexible, tear-resistant note that doubles as a fractional bullion product and a voluntary medium of exchange. They’re recognized as specie legal tender in Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Florida. The 2025 editions, including Oklahoma, add UV-reactive ink as a new anti-counterfeit feature.<\/p>\n\n\n
