Paying Employees With US Silver And Gold Circulating Coins

I don't really see a connection between paying employees with US minted coins (no matter what they are made of) and the Liberty Dollar case at all. These are two totally different scenarios, atleast in my opinion anyway

Yeah I'm unclear as to what the connection would be exactly. I wonder if you could get away with paying employees an alternative form of currency such as the Liberty Dollar for work, and how that would benefit the employer and/or employees.

Seems like you could pay employees partially in US Dollars but also in something else like Liberty Dollars or silver bullion or whatever... just like some jobs (e.g. apartment manager, migrant farm worker, etc.) come with a living arrangement and sometimes food as well. Not sure how that all works out in taxes though... seems like you could get away with some stuff with such an arrangement.

The IRS assigns values to common perks like that and you are supposed to pay taxes on it. I know this from being in the automotive business for 30 years. As a parts manager at a car dealer, I usually had a company car and the IRS most definitely assigns a taxable cash value to it.

Not that some dealers haven't discovered ways around it though.
