<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1256475, member: 22143&quot;]I&#039;m thinking an overly agressive justice dept. along with other various agencies of the US goverment took the opportunity define new legal theory based on laws that were never intended to stop private bartering.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s up to the courts now to determine if the decision by the lower court, and for that matter the statutes used are even constitutional.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are issues with this, as the decisions were based on legislation that has not been tested for constitutionality.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there was an intent to pass this off as US currency.&nbsp; In fact, the coins were clearly being used as an alternative to US currency and this is what has the powers to be concerned.&nbsp; It takes away their control over the people.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also think the word &quot;terrorist&quot; is used all to often now where it shouldn&#039;t be used.&nbsp; It&#039;s like the word &quot;communist&quot; during the McCarthy era.&nbsp; People will do well for themselves to remembet that time lest it get repeated again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
