House bills HB 630 and HB 433 both focus on regulating the treatment and use of gold and silver as legal tender in Missouri under the “Constitutional Money Act.”
The Constitutional Money Act, as defined by both HB 630 and HB 433, establishes the legal framework for recognizing gold and silver (“specie”) as legal tender in Missouri.
The Constitutional Money Act is great for Missouri, some of the key benefits are:
- The Act provides citizens with alternative financial tools by recognizing gold and silver as legal tender.
- It offers protection against inflation by allowing transactions in precious metals, which are less volatile than fiat currency.
- Tax exemptions on capital gains from specie sales encourage investment in precious metals.
- Citizens are safeguarded from federal overreach regarding their use of alternative currencies.
- Businesses gain flexibility to compensate employees in specie under HB 433.
Take action today to help make the Constitutional Money Act a reality in Missouri!
