    Is that to protect them during this depression? If all states pursue this where does that leave us?

    Since they appear to have no natural deposits:

    Probably won’t happen in Illinos but tons of online merchants are going to that model. A lot of people won’t mess with paypal and a lot of people are going through gold merchants.

    If inflation kicks in a year or 2 from now a lot more people will want a stable medium to trade in.

    I'll hang onto more precious things as currency. Like food, Coffee, Salt, Sugar. Bring me eight ounces of coffee beans and you can have 6 fresh eggs.
