From the article, "Virginia considers it their Constitution right" and "Virginia is considering the establishment of a joint subcommittee to study whether the Commonwealth should adopt a currency such as gold or silver to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System".Didn't anyone notice that the Constitution says that "No State shall... coin Money"? (U.S. Const., Art. I, section 10, cl. 1).
Didn't anyone notice that the Constitution says that "No State shall... coin Money"? (U.S. Const., Art. I, section 10, cl. 1). I believe the article only mentions, "the Commonwealth should adopt a currency such as gold or silver" and not anything about "coining" money.
In the same Art. I, section 10, cl. 1, the Constitution states that "No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts".
