Utah House passes gold and silver electronic currency
The Utah House unanimously passed HB306, a bill to establish a state-backed electronic payment system using gold and silver.

While initially limited to state vendors, the system could pave the way for broader public use of gold and silver for payments. This builds on Utah’s long-standing efforts to promote sound money, including its 2011 Specie Legal Tender Act, which led to the development of a gold-based economy.
