A total creep
Once alumium from Alabama floods the market, the price will nosediveWhile most international trade was done in gold, that's because they didn't have enough aluminum to facilitate trade.
My asspull guesstimate is that Alabama would need 30-60 tons of gold if it wished to support a currency of its own.
I admit that I'm stuck mentally in the low figures for gold - hence I may very well underestimate how much of the yellow stuff is sloshing about UT Alabama
And of course, if/when Alabama joins the USA, then it'd be on the universally accepted USD anyway. Tricky negotiations ahead
1kg of gold = c.120 GBP or 600 USD. In Sovereigns and Half Eagles
