25. True, but California got away with it
The IOUs they issued were a form of local currency paper money.

If things keep going the way they are going, states may have to coin their own money to retain a semblance of a functioning economy... the US dollar is being destroyed by Fed and fed.gov policies. You're seeing the effects in gasoline right now, in 3-6 months you're going to be getting the same sticker shock when you go to buy food.
