    "Gold is now money with a UK Gold backed credit card being launched next year."

    How does a "gold backed credit card" work?
    Who lends the money?
    Who holds the collateral (gold I assume)?
    Who does the collateral belong to?
    Why would retailers care when it is the credit providers who carry the loses on default?

    This sounds like nonsense to me...
