Money, State by State

There are great changes in monetary
systems around the world as the result
of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt)
created by crisis and collapse of fiat
currency systems.


approaches its cost of production”
Dr. Larry Parks

America’s founders experienced the
final stage of the monetary life cycle
leading to the popular phrase
“worthless as a continental”


removed all danger of our having a
paper tender, ...” The Pennsylvania

Thus our best solution to restore our

U.S. Const. art. I, § 10, cl. 1 – to make
nothing but gold and silver a tender for
payments of debts.
