Date: December 14, 2024
Trump-backed candidate for Florida's 1st Congressional District, Jimmy Patronis, is advocating for Florida to adopt gold and silver as legal tender.
This aligns perfectly with Donald Trump's recent statement that "the golden age of America has already begun."
Notably, Trump resides at his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, further underscoring the symbolic connection between his vision for a "golden age" and Florida's potential embrace of precious metals.
"Gold and silver have been trusted assets for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense to use them as legal tender.
I'm launching this study to determine the best way to get it done," Patronis stated in a press release this week.

US Mint increases prices on silver products
The United States Mint recently adopted a new strategy for pricing products in its silver numismatic products portfolio. Prices for products containing silver will change EFFECTIVE October 13, 2020-applicable to silver products already on sale/those yet to be released.In order for the United States Mint to cover rising costs, meet its fiduciary responsibility to operate at no net cost to taxpayers, and return money to the Treasury General Fund, re-setting silver prices is necessary.
The Mints goal, as a financially responsible Federal agency, is to always provide the best quality numismatic products while maintaining fair prices.
The first objective is to ensure that the numismatic portfolio (all product lines together) be self-sufficient and cover all associated costs. The new silver prices reflect a sound business decision aimed at meeting these obligations.
(No tax dollars are used to fund numismatic operations.) The United States Mint will continue to look for operations optimization and cost reduction efforts to deliver superior quality numismatic products at a fair price.
