Goldbacks are a branded note that is printed by Valarum. Like all the others you can just burn them to get the gold out of the paint, the rest of the note is just plastic. The gold melts out of the paint into flake.

Valarum is who did Ghana's gold note which is legal tender in Ghana and follows the spot price of gold.

I didn't know any nation adopted this system. Pretty cool. The one's from Ghana are much more expensive vs the amount of gold in them, though. Link
