Donald Trump is trying to tell us something about the return to the gold standard, citing an interesting section from the Constitution.
He posted on his network an article of the Constitution that specifically talks about Gold & Silver Coin as legal tender.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1:
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit;
make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;
pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

Ghana Launches Gold Coin to Boost Savings

The Bank of Ghana has introduced a new gold coin to enhance money-market liquidity and promote domestic savings.
Made from locally mined gold, the coin is refined to 99.99% purity.
It is issued and guaranteed by the central bank, with three available sizes: one ounce, half ounce, and quarter ounce, according to Governor Ernest Addison.
The initiative aims to strengthen Ghana's financial market and savings culture.
"The Ghana gold coin enables the Bank of Ghana to mop up excess liquidity in the banking sector and will supplement the bank's bills for liquidity management. It gives those resident in Ghana an additional avenue to invest to reap the benefits of the Bank of Ghana???s domestic gold purchase program." Addison said.

Russia will abolish the VAT (tax) on bullion

The government will abolish the VAT (tax) on bullion.
This Bill will go to the State Duma on March 4.
Going forward - when purchasing gold bars or other precious metals from a bank, the 20% current tax on top of its value will not apply.
This is a way to ensure people can invest securely in something other than the dollar (usually people hold their cash in dollars as the ruble is volatile.)
PM advises foreign businesses that competitors will take their place.
This is a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.

HSBC has been actively exploring blockchain technology and recently launched HSBC Orion, a tokenization platform for digital bonds, with successful applications in the market.
