Saw this in the news awhile ago and it made me think of your post, Homefire.

With economy tanking, Liberty coins made of silver are paying off

Nicolas Leobald is fighting the federal government - one silver coin at a time.

The 42-year-old East Village writer struck one of his mild-mannered political blows the other day at his favorite deli, where he bought some cold cuts and a roll, paying with a silver coin marked $10 and getting back three dollars in change.
That simple transaction could mean jail time for Leobald and the butcher. The coin, called a Liberty Dollar, is not legal tender and passing it is a federal crime.

Libertarians, who are pushing the coins as an "inflation-proof" alternative to the greenback, call it a revolutionary act.

"Its about trying to take power away from the Federal Reserve and return it to private citizens," Leobald said.

Only because they used the $ and that is a no no ! Copy Rights, and all. If it did not carry the $ sign and was just marked as .999, the feds could do nothing about it.

The silver values are the same.

I think the bill is just a way to express there thoughts on the Mass Printing of the Dollar, and the ensuing inflation it is going to cause.

The articles about the Liberty Dollars are quite interesting.

Better round up all your gold and silver because the prices are going to go through the roof if they pull that one off . The Australian government not long ago lifted the ban of private citizens from holding more than so many ounces of gold in their posession. I can see that might happen again .
Maybe we all might get commissioned by the government to go out and detect a bit of gold for them or maybe recover all their lost coins that have been minted over the last couple of hundred years , could be looking at a few thousand tons of gold and silver there ?
