1) what would have been the result if he didn't manufacture coins? What he rather minted made small ingots, with some completely odd design on them? ie) something that didn't look like a coin? Currency is whatever society declares as a store of value, so something unlike a coin would have served the purpose of "store of value" just as well. The Chinese used "taels" of silver for millenia (see below). Its clear this man was making a political statement by minting "coins."
2) It is interesting the "southern law poverty center" is involved. What interest does a "civil rights" group have in a someone who is opposed to the FED??? (rhetorical question?)
