At least it would help control spending which Obama refuses to do.
Blatantly unconstitutional as only the federal government may issue or approve currency. This is by morons for morons. Gold has absolutely no intrinsic value and you might as well use sea shells. It just goes to show how many gullible idiots there are on the far right.

sigh, not the federal government, congress.
I look at this this way, people will still be able to use dollars, but they would also be able to use gold and silver. most gold and silver coins in the USA is still US currency.

Congressmen don't ruN the printing presses nor stamp coins.
Nobody is going to use a gold coin that has $20 embedded on it to buy $20 worth of goods because that coin has a numismatic value far higher.
I can't believe the good people of AZ actually pay their representatives to horseplay around and essentially troll the president like this. What childish behaviour... I'd be fuming if I was a citizen of that state. All this time wasted on some pseudo-slapstick comedy. And some folks applaud this?
Let me wrap my head around this thread. The OP calls himself "All American NYC," has been an absolutist when defending the constitution when it's the 2nd Amendment but now thinks it's absolutely ok to violate the follwoing specific section of the constitution:
Of course, the plan is not at all practical. An once of gold fluctuates at around $1,500/oz. That means that a $10 coin would be 1/150 of an once or about the size of a be-be and change value as the market changes.
The Constitution prohibits state government from making their own money. Not the private sector.
All Arizona is dooing is saying they will accept private money.
It would play out with the clerk weighing the dust, paying the customers license tax with the clerks own paper money, whilst pocketing the gold.
Let me understand this, when I go to the grocery store, instead of handing the clerk money or a credit card, they're expected to weigh gold dust using the current COMEX price for gold and tax the correct amount of payment? I could comment further but why bother?

The Constitution does not forbid the private coining of money.
Gold has value and has for the last 5,000 years or so.
Your post just goes to show how moronic and gullible some people are.

Businesses make their own currency daily. It is more obvious in retail.
It is called a coupon.
States can issue currency, that is only accepted in their state.

Nothing unconstiutional at all about it.
I guess Arizona can accept shiny rocks as payment for state taxes, if it wants, but it cannot establish shiny rocks as a uniform tender.
