Summary

Alaskas lawmakers have passed a bill making gold and silver coins and bullion official legal tender, eliminating sales taxes on them. This move, which passed unanimously in the House and with a narrow majority in the Senate, is seen as a hedge against inflation and aligns with the U.S. Constitution. However, critics argue it gives special tax breaks to these collectibles. The bill now awaits Governor Mike Dunleavys decision.
