Gold Is Becoming Money Again in America | Jason Cozens & Andy Schectman
Miles Franklin Media: 3-22-2026
Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin, sits down with Jason Cozens, Founder & CEO of Glint, to break down a major shift underway: gold is becoming money again in America.
As U.S. debt surges past $39 trillion and trust in fiat currency erodes, several states are now moving to reintroduce gold and silver as functional money.
Cozens explains how new legislation across states like Florida, Texas, and Utah could allow Americans to save, transact, and even get paid in gold, while Schectman connects the dots to a broader global trend: the breakdown of trust in fiat systems and the return of gold as a neutral monetary asset.
