description The August 2007 global financial crisis has been linked to the fiat monetary system. This has made the world political leaders to call for the rebuild of the world monetary system from the scratch as was done at Breton Wood. One of the suggested options is the adoption of an alternative monetary system based on gold. In these regard, some states in Malaysia, for example, Kelantan have taken the initiative to mint their own gold dinar to be used simultaneously with the fiat money (Malaysian Ringgit). An unexplored issue in this regard is the rationale for adoption of such alternative mean of exchange. As such, this study adopts an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) in which h u t is included as an antecedent variable in the original TPB model. Structural equation modeling analysis was carried out on data elicited from economic active residents in Kelantan via survey questionnaire.
