BREAKING: Gold Can't Be Confiscated In This State Now | Patrick Holland

• Top takeaway The guest argues Missouri's Constitutional Money Act (signed July 2025) gives gold and silver legal tender status plus allodial title, so the state cannot help the federal government confiscate them and citizens can sue if it tries.
• He says the law eliminates state capital gains, sales, and other taxes on gold and silver and lets employers pay workers in physical gold and silver at market value, with the employer required to verify purity.
• He notes Missouri now accepts electronic gold and silver transfers for tax payments, bars discrimination against gold and silver at point of sale, and treats electronic representations as legal tender without making them legal tender outright.
• He recounts a three-year legislative fight where the House Speaker held the popular bill hostage to push 11 corporatist bills, and it finally passed by being attached as an amendment to a bank bill by Senator Mike Moon.
• He frames the next stage as building transactional infrastructure, pointing to Goldbacks and the Goldback Guild as the starting point for mom-and-pop adoption, and warns of fraud risk requiring detectors to verify purity and weight.

Missouri's Constitutional Money Act, signed July 2025, makes gold and silver legal tender and bars state agencies from helping any federal confiscation. The bill ends state capital gains and sales tax on gold and silver and lets employers and employees agree to compensation in the metal. Holland frames the law as a model: any other state can print Missouri's statute and bring it to their own legislators without starting from scratch. Vaulting in Missouri is open to non-residents, with anti-confiscation protection attaching to the metal itself rather than the owner. Missouri will accept electronic gold and silver transfers for taxes and services but stops short of declaring them legal tender to stay within the Constitution, in Holland's view.
