Is It Legal?

Claudia Dickens, spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury Department Bureau of Engraving & Printing, stated that according to the Treasury, The Liberty Dollar is legitimate.
"There's nothing illegal about this," Dickens said after the Treasury Department's legal team reviewed the currency. "As long as it doesn't say legal tender, there's nothing wrong with it."

Federal Government response
Numerous individuals within the US Government have been interviewed regarding the Liberty Dollar. One Secret Service agent stated "It's not counterfeit money" while remaining "skeptical" of NORFED. Another agent warned that the Liberty Dollar "appears to be in violation of Title 18, Section 514 of the United States Code."[11]

"There's nothing illegal about this," Dickens said after the Treasury Department's legal team reviewed the currency. "As long as it doesn't say 'legal tender' there's nothing wrong with it."[12]

In 2006 the U.S. Mint issued a press release stating that prosecutors at the Justice Department had determined that using Liberty Dollars as circulating money is a federal crime. The press release also intonated that the ā??Liberty Dollarsā? are meant to compete with the circulating coinage (currency) of the United States and such competition consequently is a criminal act.

Local merchants find the Liberty Dollar particularly beneficial, as REAL MONEY is profitable, circulates freely, builds traffic, grows their business, and increases customer loyalty.
