Prison May Be the Next Stop on a Gold Currency Journey

``Described by some as "the Rosa Parks of the constitutional currency movement," Mr. von NotHaus managed over the last decade to get more than 60 million real dollars' worth of his precious metal-backed currency into circulation across the country -- so much, and with such deep penetration, that the prosecutor overseeing his case accused him of "domestic terrorism" for using them to undermine the government.'' -- That is really actually a pithy amount. It is the concept of sound money itself itself that is a threat to the financial establishment. What von Nothaus did was relatively minor (after all, the US government itself sells gold and silver eagles) -- but they had to make an example out of him because what he was doing was independent sound money.
