Introducing Aurums as actual legal tender: The Gabon 1,000 Franc Aurum was issued by the Bank of Central African States and the Gabonese Republic. It has a face value of 1,000 francs (XAF), and an intrinsic value of 1/1,000 troy ounces of 24-karat gold. These gold bills feature two-sided printing, notable cultural symbology, and the advanced security features you would expect from a modern currency.
