I went through cash gold (Karatbars) in quite a detail last summer.

Since then Karatbars came up with three more denominations: 0.2-gram, 0.4-gram, and 0.6-gram.

To remind you: every pretty note you see on the picture above carries a bar that is 999,9 pure gold, comes from LBMA refineries, and is imprinted with invisible DNA to protect against fraudy people.

For more info on the new denominations check here.

 

 

The paper ‘money’ that is actually money

Also, if you have a spare 8 minutes, watch this video on paper money that, finally, worth something in any spot of the planet.

Thomas Brenner, the director of International Operations, asks questions, and Harald Seiz answers them.

I find it’s quite genuine that Harald Seiz notes that it’s just pieces of gold inserted into paper.

And keep in mind that Harald Seiz is visiting Calgary at the end of October. You can get your ticket over here, it’s $15 now. Even if Karatbars is not your thing, it never hurts to check out the fresh happenings around.
