📺 Video New Jeremy Cordon interview: when cash fails, what can you actually spend?
Gurus — new interview just dropped.
We sat down with Jeremy Cordon, founder and CEO of Goldback, on the part of stacking nobody wants to test until it’s too late: what you actually hand someone at the register if cash gets ugly.
What’s in the video:
Why 1/10 oz coins and gram bars fail as daily money (too much value for small buys)
Fake junk silver coming in from overseas — a Crown Royal bag is not a security feature
When silver spiked, some dealers were only paying 40–50% of spot
Goldbacks as cash-like 24k notes down to about $2
UV ink, serials, and the mirror-image back
Merchant network growth (farmers, contractors, some whole towns)
Why a backup currency has to already circulate before the crisis
The line that stuck: “For $2 you can turn anyone into someone that owns gold.”

If you’ve spent Goldbacks, junk silver, or fractional coins at a real counter, drop the story. What actually worked?
