To recognize bullion as legal tender

HB 5604 would recognize physical gold and silver bullion meeting purity standards (99.5% for gold, 99.9% for silver) as legal tender in West Virginia. It allows bullion to be used for private debts between consenting parties and for paying state taxes, fees, and obligations, though no one can be forced to accept it. The bill requires bullion to be held in certified depositories meeting specific storage standards, with transactions involving physical bullion redeemable on demand. It defines "bullion" to include government-issued coins and certified bars, establishing a framework for its use in state transactions.
