The FBI recently raided the Evansville, IN headquarters of Liberty Dollar, the producer of the alternative currency, confiscating records and the illegal currency. Therefore, these items have become collector’s pieces. I’m surprised the Feds haven’t shut down the E-bay sites selling it. Maybe the Feds are waiting for money to actually change hands and then will swoop down and arrest both buyer and seller for money laundering.
I considered buying a coin just as a political memento, but I don’t want anything I purchase going to benefit his campaign in the least. I guess in a few years somebody will probably be trying to unload that stuff at pennies on the dollar, if not melting it down.
