Zlato a striebro legálne platidlá v štáte Utah?

Predstavitelia štátu Utah, USA urobili prvý krok k legalizovaniu zlata a striebra ako legálneho platidla v tomto štáte, event. iného platidla, ktoré by bolo nimi chránené. Návrh následne postúpili do US Senátu. Podľa nich je to bezpečný krok k ochrane ekonomiky a odozva na stále slabnúci dolár.

It may not fold as conveniently as dollar bills, but the Utah House took a first step Friday to recognize gold and silver as legal tender.

It voted 47-26 to pass HB317 by Rep. Brad Galvez, R-West Haven, and sent it to the Senate. The measure would recognize as legal tender gold and silver coins issued by the federal government — not just their face value, but also their value in gold and silver or to a collector.

It also would order the state to study whether Utah should establish an alternative form of legal tender, such as one backed by silver and gold.

“This is a step in preparedness, a step in security,” Galvez said, “that allows us to be able to help hold up our economy as the dollar continues to shrink.”
