<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1393198, member: 22143&quot;]As a follow up to my last post, here is an example of privately minted coins in the USA and one widely used for commerce in the South.&nbsp;&nbsp; Millions of ounces were minted by this private mint over the decades that it operated.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s an example of gold in use, in day to day commerce, by real people, all without any coinage from the government.&nbsp; It works and its very effective.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of notes.&nbsp; Notice the use of the word &quot;Dollar&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; If this were tried today, as demonstrated by the Norfed Liberty Dollar, the corrupt fiat ponzi operators would use every power at their disposal to stamp it out including accusations and charges of counterfeiting, economic terrorism, fraud, etc etc etc.&nbsp; Yet 200 years ago there were no such concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is what several generations of brainwashing can do to people who consider themselves worldly, sophisticated and knowledgeable as compared to those of the 19th century.&nbsp;&nbsp; Amazing isn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>On the coin the word Rutherford is the location of the actual mint.&nbsp; This is a county near Charlotte.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rutherford Town is now known as Rutherfordton.&nbsp;&nbsp; These coins are very rare now. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://oi43.tinypic.com/2ihwjea.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://oi43.tinypic.com/68u5mu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
