| Comments |
Wyoming's 2022 legislative session produced HB 91, which directed the state treasurer to study the feasibility of issuing gold and silver legal tender — but no actual currency came of it. No U.S. state has had the authority to issue its own paper money since the National Currency Acts of the 1860s effectively ended that practice, and the Fourteenth Amendment's debt clause sealed it further. A "State of Wyoming 100 Dollars" note simply cannot exist as a legal instrument under current federal law.
If this is a novelty, souvenir, or fantasy piece, the catalog entry should reflect that classification directly.
