Republican Governor Signs Legislation Recognizing Gold, Silver As Legal Tender

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation to begin the process of recognizing gold and silver as legal tender in the Sunshine State.

The bill goes into effect July 1, 2026.

“Florida stands firmly for freedom, economic self-determination, and resistance to government overreach. But for too long, outdated regulations and unnecessary sales taxes have made it impractical for Floridians to enter the gold and silver market,” DeSantis said.

“I signed HB 999 today to change that, by initiating the process to recognize gold and silver as legal tender in our state and, with rule ratification from the legislature, free from sales tax,” he added.

FOX 13 Tampa Bay reports:

Starting July 1 of next year, the bill requires all coins to be stamped with weight, purity and mint of origin.

It specifies that using it, or accepting it, is optional.

Purchases of precious metal would be exempt from sales taxes, but gold and silver could be used to pay other kinds of taxes.

“We’ve really led the way on protecting your economic independence and your financial sovereignty,” said DeSantis.

The governor argues metals are a protection against a falling dollar, which he sees as a risk given perennial deficit spending in Washington.

He points out gold has tripled in value since 2015, while, because of inflation, paper money is buying less.

“We have the ability to do that under the federal constitution,” DeSantis said.

“We are the first large state to step up and to get this done,” he added.

“This legislation will authorize money services, business like check cashers or PayPal, to transmit and accept payment in gold and silver – that means these precious metals can start functioning like real currency again, not just investment vehicles for the wealthy,” he continued.

WATCH:

Per WESH:

State Rep. Bill Bankson from Apopka sponsored the bill. He said it aims to “eliminate the tax burden and make it a functional means of transaction between willing parties.”

Bankson also pointed out the value of the dollar has decreased since President Richard Nixon removed it from the gold standard in 1971.

“So, simply it brings opportunity without obligation, fiscal stability and security relief to the taxpayer, can I get an amen?” Bankson said to the crowd at the bill signing, “and will once again help Florida lead the way becoming the gold standard for economic freedom and opportunity.”

Have You Heard About “Operation Sandman”? It’s Set To ‘Crush The US Dollar’

Have you heard about Operation Sandman?

If you haven’t, you’d better get up to speed quickly.

Because it’s going to rock your life and standard of living you’ve become used to here in America.

And it’s already in process.

Allow me to explain…

Operation Sandman is the organized, controlled destruction of the U.S. Dollar.

In a picture:

An intentional crash of the Dollar:

It’s gained a lot of attention recently in the past 1-2 weeks:

A short summary here in Part 1:

And Part 2:

Now for the big question….

Why would they do this?

Answer here:

Next question, for those of you saying:

I don’t really care about the U.S. Dollar, why should I care?

It’s not going to affect me.

I don’t care about economics, that stuff is boring to me.

You will care deeply very soon.

Here’s why:

And here’s my friend Bo Polny talking about it too!

Ok, so now the biggest question: what can we do about it?

How do we prepare?

As always, I never leave you with just the problem, I give you the solution.

Let’s go back to Bo Polny for a minute.

I had Bo back on my show last week for a HOT interview!

Our timing couldn’t have been more perfect.  In the morning yesterday, Bitcoin was at about $28,000.

By yesterday afternoon when I sat down to interview Bo, Bitcoin was suddenly spiking to $30,000.

About 10 minutes after we ended our interview it broke over $30,000 and it currently sits at about $30,400 as I type this.

But that’s just the beginning, Bo says.

Bo says there is a MASSIVE incoming Crypto spike coming….

A MASSIVE failure of the U.S. Dollar….

And world events that are going to be mindblowing.

All starting this week and heading into 4/24, May 1-8 and beyond.

We break it all down in this interview and I have to say this is the most “urgent” I have ever seen Bo.

Usually he talks about time cycles and things coming a few weeks or months out, but for the first time in this interview he was using the word “urgent” and “imminent” a lot.

So please don’t wait to watch this.

I’m not a financial advisor, but I can tell you what I’m doing….I’m continuing to add as much GOLD and CRYPTO as I can.

I’m trying to get out of USD and into real assets.

We go into detail on both gold and crypto in this interview and there are three big moves coming you need to be aware of.

All violent spikes and dumps and you don’t want to be caught on the wrong side.

We get into ALL the details, and a big shout out to my XRP Army friends, yes we also talk XRP baby!

I have the YouTube link here:

And as promised in the video, I have all the links for you right here.

There is so much in here….

Oh and have you heard about the “Aladdin” program from Blackrock?

We talk about that too.

So much more in here, I am really excited to hear what you all think.

Oh, and we most definitely talked Gold and Silver too!

Spoiler alert, Bo says Gold is going higher….MUCH higher.

It’s at $2,000 right now but Bo has targets that are a lot higher than that.

Do you have Gold?

There’s a reason they call it “God’s Money”.

If you need some help, you need to talk to my friends at Genesis who can help you buy Gold TAX FREE.

A Faith-Driven, Conservative Precious Metals Company You Can Use With Your IRA!

For the last year, central banks across the globe have (secretly and quietly) been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells.

Now, we see why…

Gold.

Is.

On.

Fire!

Best advice you can learn in life? 👉 Never listen to what the experts are TELLING you, listen to what they are actually doing!

The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the “elites” and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals.

If you’ve been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you’re family, I’m happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love!

Precious metals.

I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I’m bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you’re so inclined…

A faith-driven, conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis, their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site.

Unlike most companies offering similar services, Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer “virtual” or “paper” gold or silver.

With Genesis and their depositories, customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions, Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door.

Central bankers aren’t slowing down. In fact, nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear, it’s understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store.

Working with Genesis is the best way our readers can explore the physical precious metals market through self-directed IRAs. It benefits us as well when our readers work with this America-First company.

Visit genesiswlt.com or call 866-292-0443 today.

Don’t wait too long, we might have more bank failures right around the corner.

You know what has NEVER “failed”?

Gold.  Precious metals.  Indestructible.

There’s a reason they call it “God’s money”.
