Follow-Up On Von NotHaus And The Liberty Dollar

Remember this recent post on Von NotHaus and the Liberty Dollar?

I'm glad to see that not only did Sheldon Richman have a nice follow-up piece, but he agrees with me that the Feds have a Constitutional right to coin money, but not an exclusive right. It's a solid read.

Also note the the Feds aren't necessarily always against alternative currency, the pentagon has its own "private" system. (ht: Laurent Belkacem)

A Victim of the State - The Freeman - Ideas On Liberty: "Sometimes we don’t see the trees for the forest. Advocates of liberty focus on the big picture: war, inflation, taxation, government spending and borrowing, drug prohibition, economic restrictions, privilege, the erosion of civil liberties, limits on immigration, and more. Sometimes the flesh-and-blood victims of government get lost in the theoretical discussion. But victims abound. One of the latest is Bernard von NotHaus."
