Liberty Dollar

The Liberty dollar is an alternative form of currency issued in the United States by NORFED, a non-profit organization based in Evansville, Indiana. The paper currency is backed by precious metal (silver and gold bullion) and is redeemable when presented at a NORFED Regional Currency Office. The coin currency is minted from pure silver or gold.

NORFED stands for National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act, whose stated goal is to encourage use of the Liberty currency and to highlight the fallacies of the U.S. Federal Reserve "fiat currency."

Legality

Just as many states, banks, and local communities once issued their own currency in the past, the Liberty dollar is a legal form of currency and is not considered counterfeit by the U.S. Government. According to NORFED, the currency was submitted to the U.S. Treasury [[Bureau of Engraving
