Could Gold and Silver Coins Become Legal Tender in Your State?
Confidence in the U.S. dollar is so low that 13 states are poised to recognize gold and silver coins as legal tender. Arizona is the latest state set to make the move.
The Republican sponsored Arizona measure sailed through the House of Representatives 36-2. The bill moves on for another vote in the Senate, where it got its first nod Feb. 28 in a 17-11 vote. Should it land on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk, it's good as gold.
Sen. Chester Crandall (R-AZ), the bill's sponsor, says the move "is the logical thing for the state of Arizona to do."
The bill doesn't mean residents will pay for groceries and utilities with the coins. It's more of a backup plan that provides "a lifeboat for Arizona so that we can construct Plan B" when paper currency is no longer widely accepted.
Utah led the way in 2011 when it sanctioned bullion as currency with the Legal Tender Act.
States considering similar bills include Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Virginia.

New Bullion Businesses Squeezed?
With the 10-15 percent drop in gold and silver prices from April 12-15, the number of people liquidating their bullion-priced coins and ingots has dropped significantly. Even more, the number of people cashing in their gold jewelry, sterling silverware and the like has also fallen sharply.
A recent report stated that companies who jumped into the gold buying business over the past few years have seen their purchasing volume decline by more than 50 percent from what it was before April 12. A survey of pawn shops, check cashing places, jewelry stores and other johnny-come-lately buying businesses shows the owners claiming that volume has disappeared almost as fast as it increased when they added a jewelry-buying service to the rest of their businesses.
Coin dealers who also sell bullion-priced gold and silver are also noticing the fall off in buying inventory from the public. However, at the same time they are enjoying soaring demand for physical gold and silver. This rise in sales masks the fall in purchasing activity.

Will Bond Purchases Push Up Gold?
The Federal Open Market Committee met and the result was more doublespeak from Chairman Ben Bernanke. Prior to the meeting it was being rumored that the Fed would start to curtail its $85 billion monthly bond buying program down to $50 billion or so. But the economic numbers are so mixed that the announcement was more to the effect that they will continue and if necessary increase.
The Bank of Japan recently announced that it will put more of its $1.2 trillion of reserves into exchange traded funds to reflate their economy. This simply means stock equities. At the recent G20 meeting that prompted a reporter to inquire of the other central banks present. The answer, it seems, is that about half of the world’s biggest central banks have started putting a significant amount of their reserves into equities and the other half are planning to do so in the future.
