Liberty Dollar.org Begs for Federal Reserve Notes

Now this is funny. They tell you how rotten Federal Reserve Notes are but they want their supporters to send what????? Why greenbacks of course.

What a scam. All these clowns should be in Leavenworth or Terre Haute.

Makes sense to me. They have a much higher denomination.

I've always wanted one of the silver 20 dollar rounds, so I bought two........from APMEX.......for melt.

They are pretty, and I didn't have to spend too much for them.

I've got one too.

They should just use their barter metals to pay everyone. That is what they expect and want the public to do.

All this could have been avoided if the bozos had just avoided the use of the term "DOLLAR" on their barter pieces. Call them Quatloos or Boojums or Boogers or anything else and there is no problem. However, they have to keep insisting that their unit is equal to a U.S. dollar, and for this reason the Feds have to go after them.

I agree, but is there really a problem using "Dollar"? They do refer to it as a Liberty Dollar. We accept the term Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, etc. We even use the term So-Called Dollar.

Let's see....Canada is a recognized country. So too is Australia. No problem with them using the term "Dollar" as that is their right as their own, recognized, country. So-called dollars....well, I won't get into all of it but I think they are just collectible trinkets and don't belong in these forums nor around real coins.

Last I heard, these fools doing the liberty dollars are NOT their own country. They are not recognized as such. They are trying to FOOL people into making them rich.
That's the problem.

Why exactly do you need to be a recognized country in order to use the term "Dollar"? Can I see that law in writing? Anyone have a copy of that law?

I agree that they are worthless and are scamming people. But the use of the term "Dollar", to the best of my knowledge, is not illegal when they are not calling it a US Dollar.

They should change the obverse portrait to Alexander Hamilton, change the reverse to the Statue of Liberty, strike them on small-sized golden planchets with a face value of $1, and sell them for ¢75 each. Then I would be on board.

So what is the value of the $20.00 Liberty Dollar.
How can you exchange it to actually U.S. Dollars?

I've been to the website.
There exchange policy cannot excede $200.00 for a one month period. What?

Thanks,

Chris

It is perfectly legal to use the word "Dollar" on a token. Casinos do it all the time ! You can even get away with putting "Unites States of America" on it too. But when you claim that it is USA legal tender or attempt to use it as such, when you know for a fact it is not, that is where you cross the line in the government's eyes.
