Gold and silver is already legal tender in all 50 States. It’s right there in the Constitution.

I thought this was a case as well, the other point to consider is, no one is going to walk around with gold coins in their pocket to pay for goods and services....

Let’s say you had a $20 gold coin and bought some whiskey with it....the gold melted down and sold would be worth many time over the $20 face value, why in the world would someone do that...

Interesting point, and problem:

Article 1, Section 10:

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Its interesting that one of the first parts of the Constitution to be ignored was the “money” part of it - after that, the rest has been slowly and steadily trampled or destroyed. Once you have fake, fiat, printed money - its easy for government to pay for any statist, social-engineering scheme it wants.
