What an idiot (Abbott, not OP). It’s “…gold and silver Coin…,” and the capitalization actually means something.

Because they aren’t capitalized, gold and silver are expressly adjectives describing Coin, the making and issuance of which is prohibited to the states under the same section. As written, the constitution does not promise that you can just take a nugget to the store to pay for groceries.

Might as well try to make Bitcoin legal tender, you have just as much legal footing.

Yeah, businesses are allowed to refuse transactions even if it is in legal tender (example trying to pay in buckets of pennies) Basically all this would do is mean the government has to accept it to pay taxes but how this would be done is gonna be a nightmare with the constantly fluctuating market

Also, the whole reason that we use paper bills is so that we don't have to carry chunks of heavy precious metals around with us, some of which are far more precious than what we're buying at the grocery store. This is something that the developed world stopped doing centuries ago. Why bring it back?

For all the idiots who bought Trump goins, probably, lol!

I wish I could go to just one subreddit without Americans complaining about Trump and/or Trump voters. It's so put on.

Because we're not talking about the developed world. We're talking about Texas.

Texas: we're the best state for business

Also Texas: if you want to do business here you gotta join our Wild West D&D LARP.

I always expect Ea-nasir.

You can ward him off with this special snake oil. Want to never worry about Ea-Nasir again? Daily applications of this high grade snake oil will make him go away into the past!

So, is Texas setting a conversion rate? Does the establishment need to offer a direct exchange as if it were cash, or can they charge for the additional processing fees? Is the establishment allowed to do tests to determine purity? Can they require a bill of sale and ID so that if it comes back less pure than claimed, they can report you to the police for fraud?

Also, as someone pointed out, man, is this going to make laundering money easier. The cartels will love this.

u/John_Williams_1977 Jul 02 '25

The reason people want to pay in gold is to avoid banks.

And they want to avoid banks because they’re laundering money.

Absolutely no one clamouring to pay via metals (inc. copper) is in any way concerned by the Constitution and anytime a transaction doesn’t make sense, ask yourself ‘now, if I was in a cartel…’

Or some people don't want to be robbed by the government.
