Re: "I don't think the silver coins were the problem....it was the copper "dollars" backed by reserves." [...Agents also raided the Idaho minting company that makes the organization's medallions, seizing the huge pallets of silver and gold stored there, von NotHaus said.] Thanks! So it seems that the 'problem' was in selling something that was ACTUALLY BACKED by precious metal in storage - unlike the fiat paper currency now printed by the US government <G> - so that it could be seen as a potential 'rival' in the marketplace. That clears up the question. Now I understand.
