BREAKING: Gold Can't Be Confiscated In This State Now | Patrick Holland
Liberty and Finance: 9-7-2026
Missouri has enacted a sweeping Constitutional Money Actthat gives gold and silver legal-tender status.
The law also provides protections against state-assisted confiscation, allows employers and employees to agree to compensation in gold and silver, and requires the state to accept certain electronic gold and silver transfers for taxes and services.
Patrick Holland of the Missouri Freedom Initiative explains how grassroots pressure helped overcome political obstacles and why he believes Missouri’s framework could serve as a model for other states.
He also discusses the emerging infrastructure for everyday gold and silver transactions, potential counterfeiting and fraud risks, and why he believes private-market solutions are preferable to state regulation.
Holland urges citizens in other states to study Missouri’s law and work with their own legislators to pursue similar sound-money legislation.
