Sound Money Movement
Sound money refers to currency backed by — or made of — tangible assets such as gold and silver, as opposed to fiat currency whose value is determined solely by government decree. The Sound Money Movement advocates for monetary systems grounded in real, finite resources, promoting financial stability, individual freedom, and long-term economic integrity.
The Sound Money Index
The Sound Money Index is an annual report published by Money Metals Exchange that ranks all 50 U.S. states based on their monetary policies regarding gold and silver.
It evaluates each state across criteria such as sales tax exemptions on precious metals, legal tender laws, and other legislation that either supports or hinders the use of sound money.
The index serves as a valuable resource for understanding where each state stands in the broader movement toward honest, asset-backed currency.
Goldbacks
Goldbacks are a unique and innovative form of voluntary local currency made from actual gold. Each Goldback note contains a precise, fractional amount of 24-karat gold layered between protective polyester film, making them both spendable and collectible.
Unlike traditional gold coins or bars, Goldbacks are designed for everyday transactions — offering a practical way for individuals to use real gold as a medium of exchange.
They are currently issued for several U.S. states and represent one of the most tangible expressions of the sound money philosophy in modern circulation.
