SsuperDdave & philadelphian,

That's why my post is what it is.

SsuperDdave,

If you'd like to share your thoughts outside of this forum, I'd be humbled to be on the receiving end. I'm sure it would be enlightening, entertaining and educational.

There are many tribes that mint their own coins. Some of them are used as legal tender on the reservations and circulated next to the standard U.S. coins. Most of them are minted for the collectors market though so they aren't circulated. The tribes are in a similar situation to the states, yet distinct because they are 'internal dependant nations.'

And not only them but there are all kinds of places that use coinage they make for their own usage. One place, some time ago but now bought out by ChuckECheeze, had their own coins but basically for inhouse use. My Son collected them. A place similar called Enchanted Castle now does the same thing. A large sporting place called Cabella's also has their own coins. Not sure how many are attempted to be used for real money by kids though. And I've seen many, many flipping coins made by who knows.
I know this will never go through but imagine coins made from and for each State. Could be made of Silver and worth at least Silver prices. At one time many States had Mills, part of a Cent. I still have some. It would almost be fun trying to place something on their coins that they are famous for.

The way the feds handled the NORFED issue makes it seem impossible for anything like this to go anywhere and get large. I do NOT agree with everything he did, but the fact is that people in this area gladly accepted using silver instead of fed paper. It took off, it got large, the feds interfered and put a scare in people. They only wish people to sue their own fiat currency or else they lose control. In fact, as of recent, eBayers have been having ebay cancel their auctions selling the NORFED coins b/c supposedly the FBI said it was illegal.

The fact of the matter is I can accept chickens in payment for a product service if I like - let alone silver rounds. They accused the NORFED guy of counterfeiting. Can anyone seriously say that his rounds looked like US coins of any sort? There may be a slight resemblance to a Peace dollar at a glance, but seeing these NORFED rounds had more silver than a Peace dollar, the charge of counterfeiting is moot since someone would not be getting a worthless copy, but actually more worth if they mistook it for a Peace dollar!

This is similar to when towns and cities in the UK issued conder tokens. There wasnt enough proper money so people took it into their own hands - thr money circulated but could be redeemed for the face value of real money at tje location noted on the coin.

People started collecting those too adn soon enough some collectors only peices showed up.
