They may pass all the legislation they care to, but my bet is that the amount of gold or silver it takes to settle your tax bill will still be referenced to that same old dead or dying greenback.

That sounds about right. It makes a certain amount of sense for states to have gold in their treasury, but I think Gresham's law still applies, no? Why pay them in gold when they still accept greenbacks? Keep the good money for yourself, and pay the state with the bad stuff.

Still, it's a nice gesture. Someone's finally noticed the sound-money lobby gathering steam.
