Texas issues its own official state currency under the Texas Bullion Depository Act of 2015, which created the nation's first state-administered bullion depository. These notes are warehouse receipts redeemable against gold and silver held at the Depository in Leander — a genuinely unusual instrument in modern American monetary law, occupying a legal grey area that has never been fully tested against federal supremacy doctrine.
The polymer substrate is sourced from the same supplier base used by several sovereign issuers, an uncommon choice for a sub-federal instrument anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.
