<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ctrl, post: 1364072, member: 13378&quot;]The apparent legal interpretation is that states on their own cannot declare that something other than gold or silver is legal tender. It is the Federal government that can make that decision for all states. </p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that Utah/Washington is declaring gold &amp; silver coins minted by the US Mint to be good legal tender is not prohibiting anything. The effect is rather to make it so that if you want to pay your taxes using the face value of your gold coins, the state will accept that (of course). The more practical effect is that the sale of gold &amp; silver is no longer subject to sales tax because it&#039;s technically like exchanging currency denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
