  • Our Liberty Dollar Raid Update
    Our Liberty Dollar Raid Update Jeff Taylor reason.org November 16, 2007 Updating from the previous post on the topic, the FBI did indeed raid the Liberty Dollar office in Indiana on Wednesday. Documents filed in U.S. District Court in North Carolina indicate that the raid was the culmination of a two-year undercover investigation of Liberty Dollar and its officers. According to an affidavit (PDF) filed by FBI agent Andrew Romagnuolo in support of a federal seizure warrant obtained from a U.S. Magistrate last week, the feds have been investigating Liberty Dollar not just for violating federal bans on circulating alternative currency, but also for mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. As for the mysterious connection to the Western District of North Carolina, the document names William Innes of Asheville as a Regional Currency Officer for Liberty Dollar and an executive committee member of the company. Undercover government agents made Asheville a focus of their investigation as a result, attending area meetings of Liberty Dollar prospective buyers and sellers. The affidavit further details Liberty Dollar's structure and terms it a "multi-level marketing scheme." The FBI claims the company realizes a profit by selling the Liberty Dollars into circulation. The feds also went back to October 2002 for bank records of Liberty Dollar principals and cite large sums of cash moving between accounts said to be controlled by those individuals. The document also mentions that the company continued to circulate Liberty Dollars after it had been warned by the US Mint not to do so.

  • If You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins - June 01, 2006 Albuquerque Journal, by Andrew Webb
    Private Money: if You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins - June 01, 2006 Albuquerque Journal, By Andrew Webb Private Money: if You Were a Merchant, Would You Accept These Coins? By: Andrew Webb Staff Reporter The Albuquerque Journal - Sunday, June 11 2006 Remember being told as a kid that the United States' currency is backed by stacks of gleaming gold bricks buried in Fort Knox? That hasn't been true since at least 1971. But a small group of New Mexicans are part of a nationwide network of business owners, consumers and money hobbyists who use an 8-year-old private currency, which they say is backed by guarded precious metal in an Idaho warehouse, called the Liberty Dollar. Some call it funny money— indeed, from time to time, news reports circulate about someone being arrested for passing what police initially think are counterfeit coins. Banks won't take them, and most coin dealers dismiss Liberty Dollars as little more than a multilevel marketing scam. But Liberty Dollar backers say they'll have the last laugh when the plummeting value of the U.S. currency leaves unsuspecting Americans holding money whose value is little more than the paper it's printed on. "The federal Constitution states that no state shall use anything but silver or gold in payment or debt, but look where we are today— it's all just paper," says Michael Lunnon, owner and operator of a Gallup-based franchise of The UPS Store, a copy and mailing shop. Lunnon is one of two New Mexico distributors, or regional currency officers, for the Liberty Dollar.

  • Money and Prices
    CHAPTER 112 Money and Prices Key Concepts Hyperinfl ation Monetarism Neutrality of Money Infl ation Money Multiplier Quantity Theory Infl ation Tax Money Supply Seignorage Overview This chapter focuses on the nominal side of the economy: money and prices. We examine the historical behaviour of prices and the surge in infl ation that occurred in the twentieth century. We consider how to measure the price level and the rate of infl ation and compare their different meanings. We discuss why policymakers want to control infl ation and the costs of infl ation. Money is intimately linked to prices – after all, we quote prices of goods and services in terms of money. We review the historical development of money – from commodity money to paper money – and examine how governments and the banking sector create money and credit. We then consider the interaction between money and inflation. We first discuss hyperinflations – inflations of more than 50% per month – and show that they really always originate in fiscal policy, when governments print money to finance their activities. We review the concepts of seignorage and the inflation tax and compare them across countries. We then discuss a more general link between money and inflation and outline the quantity theory, which forms the basis of monetarism: the idea that inflation can be controlled by controlling the money supply. 282 cc12.indd12.indd 228282 110/01/120/01/12 88:56:56 AAMM CHAPTER 12 MONEY AND PRICES 283 12.1 Rising Prices THE HISTORICAL RECORD Although historical evidence regarding the scale of economic activity is often obscure, we have much more evidence about the price of different items.
