South Carolina might have a long history of attempting to distance itself from the federal government — think nullification, secession and the Civil War — but this week featured a new battle line: money.

One Upstate Republican state senator has introduced legislation to look into whether the Palmetto State should mint its own currency.

It’s just one part of a growing movement.

According to Spartanburg County Sen. Lee Bright’s legislation, a committee should study “whether this state should adopt a currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown.”
