Category Archives: Gold Standard

I would need to learn more about this issue, but my first thoughts are it is too radical of an idea and would not work.  What about people traveling/visiting the state with regular currency?

I honestly was not aware this was being considered until I did a little research and learned that several states are actually considering adopting their own currency. My main concern would be interstate commerce and whether currency from one state would be accepted in another.

I think the Gold Standard should be used by all States...but each state having it s own currency really is unreasonable. We are the United States of America and I think all State Representatives on the Federal and State level need to be working on keeping it.

The federal government should follow suit with regard to adopting the gold standard.

I am not in favor of state currency. We have to do business across state lines and this causes more trouble than it is worth.

While I understand the concern about the stability of the US dollar, when the states ratified the Constitution they agreed that the coining of money would be the responsibility of the federal government under the duties of the legislature (Article 1, Section 8).  It would be difficult for the states to conduct business with each…

Virginia dollars would definitely be worth more than Obama dollars. States rule!

I'd say if your own states in your own country don't believe in your currency, then how in the world do you expect the rest of the world to have confidence in it? There is a sound REASON for this lack of confidence. At the very least, this should be a wake-up call to our…

This is a sound policy.  There are 4 other states who are considering such a measure.  I am 100% behind it, but do realize that it will complicate interstate commerce until all the States adopt the same policy.  The federal government has been steadily devaluing the dollar with the continued printing of money in order…

I believe it is an important effort toward a much needed return to sound money.
