Hi,


If someone gave you a choice between a stack of ordinary ten-dollar bills and a stack of ten-dollar bills that were printed on the back with a coupon for 5 gallons of gasoline, good at any gas station in the country, which would you choose?
--Bernard von NotHaus, Monentary Architect, Liberty Dollar

Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!
Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Homer: Woo-hoo!
--Homer Simpson "The Simpsons"

Yeah, so the Liberty Dollar is a pseudo-currency created by Mr. von NotHaus and backed with gold and silver. More power to him I guess, but when I read the first quote I immediately thought of the second.

Also:

Sweetie! Let's name our kid Bernard von NotHaus!

later
Tom
