Hmmmm...you would think a store owner could accept any form of payment he/she damn well pleases to accept. I like the notion, but why is the law even necessary?
Going Galt?
We passed similar legislation in GA a couple of years ago. All tax bills etc can be paid with gold and silver coins in the state of GA.
Where do I sign up?
Utah should offer their own gold/silver certificates as legal tender.
Or they could team up with like-minded states to produce multi-state certificates.
Big difference between what governments can demand in payment of official debts and what people can accept in payments between themselves.
In other words, the US has been off the gold standard since Nixon and citizens couldn’t legally pay off a government debt if they wanted to because government can only demand payment in gold or silver. (Confiscating property, is not demanding gold or silver in payment)
If citizens want to barter between themselves, in any fashion, they certainly don’t need a law for that as they determined value and acceptance.
