The problem is that no currency can ever hope to keep up with the rising number of leftist idiots. Only .00001% of the population will have currency and the rest will be rampaging like wild animals until they are permanently put down by the .00001%.
why is it counterfieting? itz not the same as the current u.s. coinage...i thought states or individuals could print their own as long as they didnt say it was the real deal that comes out of the u.s. mints....
“Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism,” U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said in a statement after von NotHaus was convicted.”

Ridiculous...He’s guilty of nothing. It’s really lies in the art category.

1) what would have been the result if he didn't manufacture coins? What he rather minted made small ingots, with some completely odd design on them? ie) something that didn't look like a coin? Currency is whatever society declares as a store of value, so something unlike a coin would have served the purpose of "store of value" just as well. The Chinese used "taels" of silver for millenia (see below). Its clear this man was making a political statement by minting "coins."
2) It is interesting the "southern law poverty center" is involved. What interest does a "civil rights" group have in a someone who is opposed to the FED??? (rhetorical question?)
