About the goldbacks... I don't see them as being very practical. First, money needs to be practical and convenient to use, not a novelty. Second, money needs to be of uniform value based on material value. The different sizes and the lamination for real world use are limited. Also, we seem stuck on dollar value. Or unit value which has nothing to do with real value. These should go by weight only with gold cloth all the same size, for example. The higher the value, the more gold in the cloth. They would be more durable than laminated goldbacks and represent real value in a convenient to carry way. Of course, you can always use coins, but making coins smaller instead of thinner is an issue with dependability and convenience. Nobody is really thinking outside the box, but seem entranced by novelty rather than usability.
