from new york sun: The federal government's attempt to stop a group of gold-standard activists from minting an alternative to the greenback is about to face its first legal test.A dozen people around the country filed suit in U.S. District Court in Idaho this week demanding the return of all the copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins - more than seven tons of metal in all - that the FBI and Secret Service seized in November during raids of a mint in Idaho and a strip mall storefront in Indiana.
More than 50,000 of the coins seized last year bear the likeness of Rep. Ron Paul, whose monetary policies Mr. Von NotHaus supports.
"About a quarter of a million people holding liberty dollars are almost up-in arms - not up in arms yet, but almost - about having their property seized, and rightly so," Mr. Von NotHaus told The New York Sun yesterday.
