Minting Gold Coins = Domestic Terrorism

So making metal into coins which arent labeled as legal tender is illegal? People wanting to move away from dollars are being labeled as terrorists because they dont want to use paper money which is worth nothing, or less than nothing...

Just as im posting this I notice silver spot price is at 39.99$ per ounce with Gold at 1466.80$ per ounce... I didnt think silver would hit 40 until monday...

There was a guy in the 80's (perhaps in Utah??) that tried to start his own currency using silver and actually started printing/minting the stuff as an alternative to dollars.

He was sent to prison and basically never heard from again. They are quite serious about keeping control of the money, and it's not a new thing. If anyone can remember his name, then please add. Having a hard time searching the incident without a name.

While the FED prints trillions of Monopoly money.

Oh the irony

There was a man in the '60s that tried to start printing money based on the value of silver. A few months later he was assassinated. His name was John Kennedy.
