Quint is not an index like the GLD. For every 1000 Quint that are bought, Quintrex buys 1 Gold Eagle proof coin from the US Mint and places that coin in a UPMA vault. I have a Steemit post that shows how the Quint will be both Lawful Money in the 50 states of America as well as Legal Tender in the UNITED STATES (corporate DC and Territories - Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Mariannas): https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ochbiak/crypto-as-lawful-money-the-quint
