Can we put Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee on the coins?
Use them to pay for dope and stolen goods from a black guy.

States haven’t minted their own currency in a long time. Very problematic.

Modern Utah, Nevada and New Hampshire gold notes. High premiums, though.

It will never happen. The swamp would never allow it, because they would then have to work within a budget, and not be allowed inflate the currency. Plus it would kill “The Great Society,” namely welfare, food stamps etc. You can’t have a welfare state when you are restricted to x amount of dollars to spend in a year.

Here’s the Kitco article w/vid link, you reference, above....

https://www.kitco.com/news/2021-04-30/More-states-pushing-to-make-gold-and-silver-legal-tender-former-U-S-Mint-director.html

Link to YT vid of Moy....

FTA...

“What it does allow the states to do is give their citizens the ability to settle debts in gold and silver. It’;s never been exercised since it was written into the Constitution until recently. After the Financial Crisis, a number of states, the current number is 12 of them, are trying to figure out how to operationalize Article 1, Section 10, to allow their citizens to buy and sell things in gold and silver,” Moy told Michelle Makori, editor-in-chief for Kitco News.

A few states have already taking this initiative, said Moy who was the director of the U.S. Mint between 2006 and 2011 under President Bush and President Obama.

Here are some of the states, that Moy is talking about....

NV, IN, LA, WV, WY, UT, KS, OK and TX

I’m sorry to have disturbed you but it’s best not to live in a fantasy.

For better or for worse, we are stuck with the federal system we have.

All one can do is live under their means while saving/investing the difference over a long period of time in a diverse portfolio with the stock portion preferably indexed to the S&P 500 (so that no one or two industries can kill you).

Then hope for the best.

most people are too stupid to understand. I saw a video of a guy on the street with a mic stopping passers by...he offered them a 10-oz silver bar or a chocolate bar. no one wanted the silver.

Gold and silver have already been monetized in several states. So your “Not going to happen” has already happened.

Try to keep up.

any interesting way to look at it:

in 1964, minimum wage was $1.25

if you were paid $1.25 today with five 1964 quarters, silver content is worth over $20
