Default While markets get shaken, several US states made precious metals a legal tender...

.. or at least free it from tax duties (selling, capital gains).



Just until two years ago or so Washington was pressing Berlin to end the German habit to free gold from selling taxes and capital gain taxes. After 1 year of holding gold , you are free from such tax duties over here.


And now this!

Feel free to complement with a better English source.



(I do not promote gold and precious metals as an "investment". They are a security, no investement).
