Use Of Gold Coins In Colorado --- School snack bill fails to make grade
Hello
The state of Colorado says no to using gold coins to pay debts. See story below. ---------------------------------------------- FROM: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/new...s/?partner=RSS School snack bill fails to make grade By Ed Sealover Rocky Mountain News Published February 11, 2009 at 6:53 p.m. Updated February 12, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. Lawmakers Wednesday pulled the plug on bills calling for healthy snacks in schools, tax breaks for new-home buyers and wider use of gold coins in Colorado. Senate Bill 46, which would have required schools to sell only healthy snacks, died in the Senate Education Committee. Panel members said they agreed with the intent of SB 46 but believed local school boards should decide what snacks to sell. The home buyers' tax break met the same fate after opponents said it would have cost the state too much money. Under House Bill 1212 by Rep. Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs, buyers of new single- family homes would have received a tax credit of 3 percent of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $10,000. The House Finance Committee said "no" to a bill by that would have allowed debts to be paid in precious metal coins. ... |

The market value of PMs can shift significantly twixt the time that they are tendered and when the state converts them into cash. The only interesting thing here is that they perceived a need to make this explicit. Were tax collectors and DMV clerks itching to take PM coins in lieu of cash? Would this bill have applied to private debts not involving the government? That's unwarranted intrusion. Private transactions should allow payment in PMs if both parties agree. |
