CNNMoney reported that lawmakers in several US states want to explore the possibility of issuing their own currency made from silver and gold.
As quoted in the market news:
Unlike individual communities, which are allowed to create their own currency – as long as it is easily distinguishable from U.S. dollars — the Constitution bans states from printing their own paper money or issuing their own currency. But it allows the states to make “gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”
