I love when I go out to eat and pay the bill with a small piece of real estate, maybe tip an extra square foot section of a flag lot in Modesto if the service was good.  Or that time I went to the movies and paid the ticket guy with a couple of MUNI bonds.  Yes, it's all money.  Everything is money.  Dogs, pogo sticks, that full feeling after you eat a whole pie:  money.

And the fact that Utah has a goldbug-pandering state legislature doesn't change anything.  States have no rights to issue currency.  The bill simply said the state would recognize federally-issued gold and silver coins as legal tender.  Whoop-dee-fucking-do.  Walk into any store in Utah and try to pay for something with that Genuine Buffalo Head Gold Coin you bought from the late night TV infomercial.  Let us know how that works out for you.
