One of my coworkers (knowing I was vaguely into coins) was relating a story about something called a "Liberty" dollar- which apparently is NOT a US Mint coin, but is supposedly still a 'valid tender' coin?
Apparently, someone else (don't know who) has minted and is 'backing' this coin with their gold-
It's popular amongst what I'd call the 'earthie' fruit-nut types here
what is this thing they're talking about? some sort of urban legend, or a real 'scam' of some sort?
- I've not heard of this before...

I will never expect or accept any less from a President than what he should do to make America the country it can be and should be.

<< <i>I've seen Liberty dollars on ebay.From what I gather they are supposed to be legal tender,but not made by the Gov.I'm pretty sure they're all paper,rather than coinage.

So you could actually spend them, for whatever value they say?

It reminds me of the barter movement that was big a while back. Once you find Liberty dollars to buy you need to find merchants that will accept them.

From what I gather off ebay,yes.But as Carl stated,you have to find smoeone to accept them.
That may prove to be difficult.

Get the starter kit to learn more about money
Option 2: Become a Liberty Associate for $250
Get the currency at a discount and use it at a profit
Option 3: Become a Regional Currency Office (RCO)
Get the RCO Business Plan and make maximum money >>
Sounds like a MLM scam.

That was pretty much what I'd told them- you can print any money you want- just can't make people take it, and you'd better not claim it's real US Mint
stuff either- fraudulent currency is just as much a problem as it is with actual counterfeit, as I understand it...

But I agree, Cameron probably has the Liberty Dollar your co-worker is talking about.
I think I rather just buy the gold and silver myself instead of "hoping" someone I dont know is holding it for me. Plus I bet I can buy it at better prices elsewhere.
OT: The website would have to list a newspaper and a bunch of people from here in Austin, all the crazies are moving here I think.

I prefer confederacy bills.
