The word dollar is not exclusive to US government-sponsored coinage. For example, Canadian dollars and Zimbabwe dollars. Some of the Liberty coins include the statement "NOTICE: NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS LEGAL TENDER, CURRENT MONEY, OR COIN." They also include contact info and political statements. They were NEVER passed off as US government coinage or legal tender.
These silver rounds are made by NORFED, which is an acronym for “National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Code.” Clearly political.
The legal action against NORFED is politically motivated. Their website www.libertydollar.org has been replaced with a statement that says, “Site Removed Due to Court Order.” So the court is shutting down political speech that is somehow displeasing to the ruling class.

A difference without a distinction. The court (properly) saw this as an attempt to coin an alternative to the official US dollar.

Conspiracies around every corner, I tells ya! Conspiracies! Next up, they will go after our precious bodily fluids!
