Starting in 2025, all Goldback denominations minted will feature UV-reactive ink as a security feature. New Goldbacks minted in 2025 and beyond can be confirmed as legitimate by revealing the UV-evident writing on the reverse side of each note. As the Goldback family of currencies continues to grow, this added security feature is an excellent addition to the explosively popular collection of gold notes.
The Goldback UV Authenticator Penlight, produced by Goldback, Inc. itself, is specially designed to reveal this UV text and confirm the authenticity of your Goldbacks. It works on all Goldback denominations minted in 2025 or later, adding a new layer of security to your collection and investment portfolio.
Key Features:
- Official Product By Goldback, Inc.
- Works On All 2025+ Goldback Denominations
- Easy to Use
- Convenient Size
To use the Goldback UV Authenticator Penlight, simply turn it on and run the pen over the back of your Goldback(s). As with all UV light products, it is generally best to do this in dark conditions. If your Goldback is legitimate, you should see hidden text, including the numerical denomination of your Goldback (1, 5, 25, etc.) and the chemical sign for gold (AU) in an alternating pattern. Remember – this will only work on 2025+ series Goldbacks, as legacy Goldback notes do not include the UV authentication feature.
The Goldback project is quickly expanding. Goldbacks were first released in Utah in 2019, but its popularity led to new Goldback series releases in Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Florida. Goldback, Inc. also recently announced a set of new of Goldbacks for Oklahoma and Arizona, the former of which is scheduled for release later in 2025.
As Goldbacks take the United States by storm, it’s becoming more and more important for consumers to protect themselves from counterfeits and scams – and that’s exactly what the new Goldback UV Authenticator Penlight is made for. Using this tool, you can quickly verify and confirm your Goldbacks in just seconds.
