A Texas Republican has introduced legislation aiming to establish state-issued currencies fully backed by gold and silver, potentially transforming everyday transactions for Texans. This initiative would allow the Texas Comptroller to issue gold and silver coins through the Texas Bullion Depository, enabling these currencies to serve as legal tender in the state. The proposed system emphasizes stability and competition against depreciating fiat currency, allowing holders to redeem their currency for physical gold or silver at market prices.
