Is the AOCS legal?

What AOCS does is not mandated by the US government, but then neither is survival. The short answer is that what the AOCS does is not illegal. In fact, it might be argued that the handing over of control of the nation’s money to a private central bank is in direct contradiction to what was made policy by our founding fathers in the US Constitution. This guiding rule book for operating this great experiment in freedom is an excellent framework limiting the power and authority of the federal government and placing that power firmly in the hands of the people. There is no law expressly forbidding the minting of silver or gold rounds. There are statutes called “legal tender law” that prohibit the creation of a currency intended to directly compete or counterfeit US government currency.

The questions you may want to ask yourself is: will I wait for permission to survive? To be productive? To insist on fair exchange for the wealth I produce?
