[QUOTE="SanMiguel, post: 239838, member: 3379"]You obviously missed the points I made on my first post. There's a difference between bartering and pretending privately-made issues are genuine currency. I already said there's absolutely nothing illegal about bartering. If I offered them a counterfeit $20 bill, it's irrelevant whether or not they accept or refuse it. I've just broken the law by attempting to pass along something that isn't legal tender as if it were.

It doesn't matter what Liberty Dollars are made of. Their company make coins in gold, silver, copper, and they issue paper currency in multiple denominations. It's the action that is illegal, not the item. Bartering Liberty Dollars is perfectly legal. Your arguments agree with me on that point. Spending them as if they were real is not.
