The Tenth Amendment Center is set to launch their own silver medallion in the next several weeks in support of the numerous calls by states to return to compliance with the US Constitution.
Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1 states:
“No State shall …make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”
The Tenth Amendment Center has supported the move to honest money for some time and hopes to enjoy support of their actions with the introduction of this commemorative medallion proudly designed and minted with the help of the American Open Currency Standard.
The TAC has worked in a number of areas to reinforce the power of the states to exercise their sovereignty including in the area of honest money.Their work includes sponsorship of the ever-popular Nullify Now! conferences with several scheduled throughout the US in the coming weeks including Manchester, New Hampshire, St. Paul, Minnesota, Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles, California.

About Eddie Allen
I’m sure that after more and more states become more and more broke (as if they aren’t already!), and after the Federal Reserve attempts to either bail them out with more debt, or holds their ground that “states” do not qualify to borrow from the “Fed”, the states will more and more turn to honest money.
Should have been done long ago. Unfortunately for the Federal Reserve System Corporation Banks Owners running the ponzi scheme, they didn’t count on or realize that people would ever wake up from their theft, and attempt to use “real” money ever again.
Being on the East Coast, I plan very soon to move to a state that embraces the “real money” movement going on in the USA, as soon as it becomes law in that state.
Come on, UTAH!
What does the word Fifty refer to on the reverse of the one-ounce silver piece in the photo?
For some time I have wondered why the producers of gold and silver tokens choose to denominate their products in anything other than well understood units of weight: ounces or grams. I’m guessing you mean fifty dollars, and the way things are going that soon be accurate. Still, why try to equate a definite weight in an internationally known scale with a now largely mythical unit with no fixed value?
I understand that all traditional units of currency began as specified weights of precious metal, but their guardianship by governments seems to have opened the door to the manipulations that led ultimately to their complete debasement, devaluation, and transformation into pure fiat. Even currencies named for the pound suffered this fate long before paper money became common in the west.
So why call a one-ounce piece anything other than an ounce? If it is intended to be used in transactions of barter why not let the participants in such transactions decide how much it should buy?

Thanks for the question, Robert.

Facing Up to Face Value
“The prosecutors successfully painted Mr. von NotHaus in a false light and now the U.S. Attorney responsible for the prosecution is painting the case in a false light, saying that it establishes that private voluntary barter currency is illegal,” Michel wrote.
The trial was scheduled to resume Monday in Statesville. The case involves more than five tons of Liberty Dollars and precious metals seized from a warehouse, which the government wants to take by forfeiture, according to federal prosecutors and Michel.
From AP:
Federal prosecutors successfully argued that von NotHaus was, in fact, trying to pass off the silver coins as U.S. currency. Coming in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50, the Liberty Dollars also featured a dollar sign, the word “dollar” and the motto “Trust in God,” similar to the “In God We Trust” that appears on U.S. coins. “Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism,” U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said in a statement after von NotHaus was convicted.
The concerns raised by von NotHaus and his group are finding resonance among some state lawmakers, too. About a dozen states have legislation that would allow them to produce their own currency backed by gold or silver in the event of hyperinflation striking the U.S. dollar. North and South Carolina are among those states.
First we should have demanded they follow the constitution. The dollar is going away and very soon so we need to get into silver and gold as fast as possible. We are going to suffer for the feds actions so get ready to grin and bear it. We are in deep sh–. REAL DEEP. When no one stands up to them this is what happens. THERE IS 2 FACTS NOW. THE DESTROYER–NIBIRU–IS COMING THIS YEAR AND THE DOLLAR IS GONE. FACTS-END OF STORY SO GET PREPARED.
