Since the laws and tax rates are not consistent across the county, or in some cases even within the same state. Remember to check the state where your order will be shipped, not necessarily the state where you live.

Shopping in Store or local shipping in Virginia
In the aftermath of the Wayfair ruling by the Supreme Court, retailers have been scrambling to comply with an incredibly complex set of interstate sales tax rules and regulations.

Effective July 1, 2022 the great state of Virginia has removed all Sales Tax from Coins and Currency. Other items such as jewelry are taxable at the usual 6% rate in Virginia.
