Apprehension about the state of the U.S. economy in general and the dollar in particular prompted the state of Utah to recognize gold and silver coins as legal tender.The Wall Street Journal reports governor Gary Herbert signed the law late last month that is supported by "gold bugs," or supporters of wider acceptance of the precious metals as legal tender."The intent would be to see where a gold or silver coin is valued at its market value instead of its face value," according to Brad Galvez, a Republican state legislator who presented the bill.
