Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a new law that begins the process of recognizing gold and silver as legal tender in the state.
The measure allows certain precious metal coins to be used for everyday payments, offering Floridians a potential alternative to traditional currency.
DeSantis says the move is meant to protect against the declining value of the dollar, which he blames on constant deficit spending in Washington.
The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
"You can't print this out of thin air."
