Our currency is an evil thing from day one. But even if Ron Paul gets what he wants and shuts down the Federal Reserve we'll still have the same problem. And this is again where individual state could make a huge difference if they wanted. States are allowed constitutionally to have there own currency and it can be whatever form they want it to be. It can be fiat or commodity backed and its all legal. I would like to vote for a currency based on the commodity hemp and written on hemp.lol
Seems the Feds don't want anyone making their own money....

The Liberty Dollar (ALD) was a private currency produced in the United States. The currency was embodied in minted metal rounds not dissimilar to a coin, gold and silver certificates and electronic currency (eLD). ALD certificates are warehouse receipts for real gold and silver formerly owned by ALD certificate holders. The metal was warehoused at Sunshine Minting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho prior to a November 2007 raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Secret Service.[1] Until July 2009, the Liberty Dollar was distributed by Liberty Services (formerly known as NORFED), based in Evansville, Indiana. It was created by Bernard von NotHaus, the co-founder of the Royal Hawaiian Mint Company.[2] In May 2009, von NotHaus and others were charged with federal crimes in connection with the Liberty Dollar and, on July 31, 2009, von NotHaus announced that he had closed the Liberty Dollar operation, pending resolution of the criminal charges.[3"
