BTW, his coins were backed by actual gold and silver. Unlike “real” currency.

Note to self: do NOT accept “money” from anyone whose last name sounds similar to “nuthouse”...

He was found guilty of making counterfeit coins and an intent to defraud. Sentencing will be held in several months. Counterfeiting is usually punished fairly heavily. Ouch.

A government that has the time, money and people to screw around with stuff like this is clearly too big and out of control. Drain the Swamp!

” Forfeiture hearings began after the verdict was read in regard to property belonging to von NotHaus and others that was seized by the U.S. government. “
When this is the payoff, not breaking any law is no excuse....

Doesn't look like currency to me, but it IS beautiful. The guy can really do some majik with silver.

To: DeaconBenjamin
Well, he made silver coins and so he gets his stuff seized.
He should have made silver bullets instead. That might actually be a worthwhile investment.

The guy should have issued paper and promised to buy T-Bills with it, they would have given him a key to the city. Better yet, buy an island and issue the paper there. Silver is for chumps (I should know).

These are considered completely legal...one ounce silver and copper rounds (coins). Why are these OK and Liberty dollars not OK?

To: Bobalu
Why are these OK and Liberty dollars not OK?The key difference is that Nothaus put "$20" on his coins, not "one ounce." That violates the counterfeiting laws. (It also makes him a fraud, because his "$20" coins only contained about $8 worth of silver at current market rates.)
To: Bobalu
They are not legal because the govt went about proving they weren’t and convinced a jury that was less than fully informed that their side was correct. JUST US with the power will decided JUSTICE.
