Apparently this has been going on for awhile. The group filed a lawsuitagainst the Treasury Dept earlier this year, apparently contending it's barter currency. And it's possible this has nothing to do with the coin. I'd wait and see.

And their press release, my bold. They've got the disclaimers there, whether the bold means they're producing an additional currency is the type of thing courts decide.

Peace Dollar Battles War Dollar

EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In an all-out battle, Liberty Dollar in Evansville, Indiana, has issued the 2008 Peace Dollar to "Stop the War." As if President Bush's unpopular war does not have enough problems, the Peace Dollar appears to offer an attractive way for the antiwar forces to gain strategic ground at a profit.

Liberty Dollar recently issued a "Presidential" Ron Paul Dollar in support of the Republican peace candidate. Now it asks peace-seeking Americans to start using the Peace Dollar and stop using the US War Dollar, as it finances the Iraq War.

The 2008 Peace Dollar is not government money and cannot be used to fund the war in Iraq. It is good for peace and bad for war. The government uses their printing presses to make money out of thin air to finance their war by diluting every American's purchasing power... hence higher gas and food prices.

Bernard von NotHaus, the fiery monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar, says that by accepting and spending Peace Dollars, peaceful people can force the government to "Stop the War" because the government will have less money to pay for it. He encourages peace-loving people to use a Peace Dollar the next time they spend money and "Give peace a chance."

The $10 Peace Dollar is a legal functioning currency dedicated to stop the war. As a private voluntary barter currency it can be used anywhere it is accepted. It is "real money" minted in pure silver and copper that exchanges dollar-for-dollar with the US war dollar. It is dedicated to establishing peace and bringing our boys home. The 2008 Peace Dollar has a face value of ten "Liberty Dollars" and contains one-half ounce of pure .999 fine silver. The $1 Copper Peace Dollar contains one ounce of pure copper.

Von NotHaus urges his fellow Americans who don't want war -- to stop using the war dollar. He encourages everyone to show his or her contempt for the war and vote for peace with Ron Paul and use the Peace Dollar.

Recently, Liberty Dollar sued the US Mint to compel the government to cease claiming voluntary use of the Liberty Dollar as barter is a federal crime. No Liberty Dollar, Ron Paul Dollar or Peace Dollar is claimed to be "legal tender."
