Goldback to the Future 2 with Kim Coleman | CCR 190

November 29, 2025·1 hr 26 min·5 clips

Coleman says state governments could turn gold into a counter-based, government-vaulted product.

Gons opens episode 190 of Canary Cry Radio with Kim Coleman. Coleman is introduced as a former Utah state legislator and a strong advocate for sound money and economic freedom. She also works with Goldback Inc. The conversation centers on voluntary money, inflation resistance, and precious metals. The hosts frame Goldbacks as part of a broader argument about who gets to control value. They compare physical gold to other gold-backed setups. A key distinction keeps coming up. Physical gold in hand is not the same as gold held in a vault and moved through a payment rail. The discussion also separates redeemable gold from electronic or paper claims on gold. Coleman explains that some companies let people transact digitally while still holding real metal in storage. The hosts then move into legal-tender rules. They talk about how government can create special monetary structures that favor its own system. One criticism is that this can look like CBDC ideology applied to gold. The conversation keeps circling back to the idea that government starts competing with private markets once it enters the money business. Coleman says some state proposals even aim to sell gold and silver at prices below what consumers can get privately. Connecticut is named as an example. That kind of language matters because it tries to make state decree part of the price itself. The hosts treat that as a warning sign, not a feature. The episode stays lively and back-and-forth even when the topic turns technical. It keeps returning to money, sovereignty, and who gets to define value.
