Pretending to be rich has never been easier with the Gold Playing Cards by IDEA International. The premium playing cards aim to imitate actual gold in an effort to help users impress their friends. Each card is made of plastic and coated in a shiny veneer. As a result, the entire deck looks like a stack of gold cards.
The pseudo gold cards imitate actual playing cards in that each deck contains 54 cards including the two Joker cards. However, the cards don't show red or black in order to make the cards look like solid gold. The numbers were printed to make them look like they were engraved into the gold cards. In addition, the symbols on the cards were designed and printed with a raised look.
