Virginia, a “Fed Breakdown,” Gold and Silver

The state of Virginia has introduced legislation to consider currency alternatives, including gold and silver, in the event of a “major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System.”

House Resolution No. 557 seeks to form a joint subcommittee to study the “timely adoption of an alternative sound currency that the Commonwealth’s government and citizens may employ without delay in the event of the destruction of the Federal Reserve System’s currency,” aimed to “at least mitigate many of the economic, social, and political shocks to be expected to arise from hyperinflation, depression, or other economic calamity related to the breakdown of the Federal Reserve System.”
