One of the more unique options available for collectors of paper currency are the gold certificates issued by the United States government. In 1865, the first large-size gold certificates were printed. Then in 1928, a new small-size certificate was created that was modeled after the traditional Federal Reserve note design. These were the final gold certificates printed by the government, as the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 ordered all gold and gold certificates to be surrendered to the Treasury.

History

Gold Certificates were produced by the United States during two separate periods. The first were the large-sized notes that were issued starting in 1865. They were distinguished by their unique orange-colored reverse designs, which gave them their nicknames yellow boys and goldbacks. Then in 1928, a new smaller-sized note was created. However, the circulation of this note was short-lived, as the 1934 Gold Reserve Act declared that all gold and gold certificates be surrendered to the Treasury. This was part of an effort to print greater amounts of paper currency and separate it from the gold standard it had previously been tethered to.
