<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1621093, member: 12789"]People claiming to be representative of the Cherokee Nation did in 1980 and 1989 and then again in 1994 - resulting in lawsuits, threats etc. Some guy named Herbert Williams bought some island in the Rio Grande river betwixt the USA and Mexico and claimed to start his own 154 acre country. He had coins minted in Germany by the Mayer mint and sold them however he could to raise money. The 1994 dated coins were minted by some splinter group claiming to be the real "Cherokee Nation" and did catch the attention of the Tahlequah based Cherokee Nation and they got a court injunction to stop that group from minting or distributing the coins. They can still be occasionally found, but while the 1980 and 1989 dated coins are scarce - the 1994 examples are near impossible to find. Sometime when I feel like warming up the scanner I will post images of the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
