The coins are hardly ‘worthless’. The $20.00 Liberty Dollar is 1 ounce of 99.9% silver worth more than $34.00 in the silver market. Heck, at least this coin had actual metal value and not that ‘backed by the good faith’ of something we use now(excluding the nickel). I will gladly exchange my $20.00 ‘legal tender’ bill for a ‘scrip’ $20.00 Liberty Dollar anytime.
I think that we have a winner!

Fine — call it the Yardbird or the Beatle. It isn’t backed by anything other than the current value of silver. Invest in it if you wish.
When we went off the gold standard an entirely new milieu emerged. Agree or disagree with that decision, it is the current state of affairs.
