Interesting post ... Taking on the US Mint would be an interesting venture! I would like to get a hold of a few of them just as a collector's item. I like the look, although it seems like it should be silver or gold instead of copper.

Seems to me you are all missing there good point that the US dollar is really these days worth nothing but the good word of the USA.

I agree no one will take these but what they I think are trying to do is offer Silver and Gold Certificates that they claim can be redeemed for the silver and gold.

Now it would be interesting to see if I said I have 500 dollars worth of Liberty Silver Certificates I want my 500.00 worth of silver what they would say or do?

But I agree with there overall concept the US dollar was once backed as it should be by gold and silver and no more was printed that what gold and silver the US government had to back there currency with.

Now they print all they can 24 hours a day and we are Trillions of dollars in debt with no end in site.

So I think this organization or person said enough is enough I don't want to have only on option of the worthless dollar anymore but something that is actually worth what it represents.

Now don't get me wrong I love the USA retired USMC but I understand what he is trying to do save the USA by once again making the dollar stand for an actual dollar.

As for coins I personally feel when I go to the bank with my $10.00 and ask for $ 10.00 in dollar coins I should be given ten coins that are actually worth $ 10.00 and not $ 3.00 if that.

I do not know if it really does but the $1.00 Liberty Copper Dollar they are actually stating it has one dollars worth of copper in it and is actually Worth it's face value I like that.
Just my 2 cents

The problem is that gold and silver are not really money. Debt is really money. Yes, that's right, only in America, but only if your the U.S Treasury can you take debt and call it money.

Bet if I took a $20 credit card receipt into Denny's, danced around it while throwing some chicken bones on the ground, perhaps even sing a verse or two from "When you wish upon a star" and then claim the former credit card receipt is now "actually" a "monetized" debt instrument worth $20, I'd be arrested for fraud.

Interesting concept, but I just see it as a money-making venture. They sell the coins for 2-5x over the metal value. I calculated the cost of the copper coin a few weeks ago based on current copper prices and it was something like 20 cents worth of copper in the dollar coin.

Now, U.S. coins and bills are even more worthless intrinsically, but the gov't will take them to pay taxes, and everyone else will accept them at face value too. The problem is - who will accept the Liberty Dollars at face value - ESPECIALLY if they're not just confused into thinking it's a real U.S. gov't coin? I don't want to be the one without a chair when the music stops...

That being said, if you want to pay $20 for a 1-oz silver round because you like the design enough to pay $7 over the silver value, then go for it. But I think you can get much prettier 1 oz silver coins for less money.
