Has anyone been “forced” to buy a “liberty dollar’?

You know what’s clearl stamped on the reverse dont you?

1.800.NEW.DOLLAR and LibertyDollar.Org

Sorry...only a fool would take these as “legal tender”..

Why are they any different than coins from the Franklin mint?

Are there any dollars on the Franklin Mint that aren’t dollars? They paint them and plate them but, from what I can, tell they are real dollars underneath. Otherwise they can’t call them “dollars.”

I am not making a monetary policy argument — I am making a legal one. The term “dollar” means something. Attempting to substitute something else is pure counterfeiting, nothing else.

If he wants to sell it based on underlying gold value, great! Call it a “Homer” or a “Golder” or a “Everybodylovesraymond.” To use the term “dollar” is a clear attempt to pretend to be currency.
