It costs 4 cents to make a penny. This is a practical move.
It is also quiet recognition that 1 cent is no longer useful as a unit of account. The penny was inflated out of existence.
Republicans and Democrats agree: it's time to retire the penny. 🤝
It costs nearly 4¢ to make a single cent, and taxpayers foot the bill. Thank you @SenGillibrand, @SenatorLankford and @RonWyden for helping me pass the Common Cents Act.
My predecessor, Sen. Mike Enzi, began this work in 2017. Proud to finish it.

Did you know SMDL Exec. Director @JpCortez27 was featured on @RonPaul's Liberty Report?
Jp joined Dr. Paul to discuss the history of gold and silver as money, how states can facilitate the use of gold and silver, and the impact that Dr. Paul's teachings have had.

A HUGE congratulations to one of the most steadfast defenders of constitutional sound money in Washington, @judyshel.
Few in DC have made the case for gold and silver the way Dr. Shelton has. Her recent book, Good as Gold, underscores the urgency for honest money. That insight now has a home in the Treasury.
Thank you for carrying this torch for so long, Dr. Shelton. Your new position is well deserved.
BREAKING NEWS:
JUDY SHELTON HAS JOINED THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT AS COUNSELOR TO THE SECRETARY.
Judy has spent decades thinking deeply about monetary policy, sound money, gold, and the architecture of the global financial system.
To now see her bringing those ideas and that experience into discussions at the highest levels of the U.S. Treasury is incredibly exciting.
My conversation with Judy on The Gold Telegraph will always be one of the highlights of my career.
Beyond her extraordinary intellect, she is thoughtful, gracious, and deeply committed to the ideas she believes in.

Congratulations, my friend.
Very well deserved. @judyshel

“This agreement represents an important step in advancing the Bank’s reserve diversification strategy. Gold continues to play a critical role as a store of value and a hedge against global uncertainty.” - @BankofNamibia Governor Ebson Uanguta
While many countries are expanding their #gold reserves, Namibia is in the process of building its own gold holdings for the first time.

F.A. Hayek argued for competition in currency. Good money is not only valuable because a government says so.
Since 2014, the Sound Money Defense League has worked to introduce and enact state and federal legislation to help Americans readopt their own gold standard.

Broken money.
Fake money is the original sin. It's the counterfeit that enables all of the other fraud, waste, and war. All the bad things the government does are downstream from its capacity to fund them.
Fix the money and you fix the root cause of many societal ills.
The #1 thing standing in the way of a freer and more prosperous society is ____________.

Thus the sound-money principle has two aspects. It is affirmative in approving the market’s choice of a commonly used medium of exchange. It is negative in obstructing the government’s propensity to meddle with the currency system.

Thanks to @judyshel the topic of proper gold audits was shown some love today, @JpCortez27 goes in to detail about what exactly that would mean in this clip from an interview with @MoneyLevelsShow

$40,000,000,000,000. Since SMDL's inception in 2014, US money supply has more than doubled due to the endless manipulation that fiat allows.
Our founding fathers knew the dangers of inflation, that is exactly why gold and silver are the only forms of money in the constitution.

Throwback to SMDL director @JpCortez27 at the @LPNational convention speaking on sound money and the constitutional right that Americans have to a stable currency in gold and silver.
Austrian greats like Mises and Rothbard knew the dangers of a fiat currency subject to inflation.

As gold beats out debt instruments as the world's top reserve asset, we can't help but revisit this part of the speech given by @JpCortez27 at the @LPNational convention.
"The price of gold is not going up, the purchasing power of your dollar is being siphoned away and stolen."
