Marshall's bill on minting coins advances

The Senate General Laws committee on Wednesday unanimously passed House Bill 2236 — Marshall's bid to authorize the governor to direct the state treasurer to mint "gold, platinum and silver coins for commemorative use that bear the seals of the commonwealth."

Marshall said his bill had been mischaracterized as an attempt to mint a separate currency for Virginia — bringing criticism that he was trying to resurrect the Confederacy or offer an alternative to the Federal Reserve Bank.
