Quote of the Month 1. $20 Currency Packs - Shipping The long awaited, but very beautiful $40 Currency packs with the $20 Silver Base currency is now shipping. Each pack contains eight Silver Certificates: one $20, one $10, one $5 and five $1 Silver Certificates. The First Day of Issue is dated April 21, 2006, and all 800+ FDI packs will ship first. My apologies for the long wait. Thank you for your patience while we re-worked the artwork on the Certificates and moved production to direct-to-press process. Of course this took much longer that we had wildly anticipated... but it had to be done. We do not expect such a long transition time when we Move Up to the $50 Silver Base. 2. eBay Auction Results... wow! Of course the Liberty Dollar is a free market (driven) currency. So what is the best way to price a currency, but to offer it to the largest marketplace on the planet?! Of course that would be eBay which is both the largest and freest marketplace that knows no national boundaries and still little government regulation. So when the new, long awaited $1000 Gold Liberty was finally available, we decided to offer five of the 10 on eBay and see what the marketplace would think. WOW! I had no anticipation, except that I felt comfortable that the one Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold would probably go for spot plus at least 10 percent, as that is our normal pricing for one Gold Liberty to Liberty Associate and RCOs. The first auction for #006 was launched on April 6, 2006, and closed at $1152.77. Please note that is well over Face Value. I was amazed and pleased. The second auction for #007 was just won at a higher bid of $1225. And the third auction for #008 is listed on eBay with a current bid of $1210.57 and three days to go. Please check out the third auction at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11&item=8411094521<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11&item=8411094521> The new 2006 Gold Liberty not only featured a huge $1000 on the greatly improved reverse design, but the obverse was significantly changed by adding the date. All in all, the new 2006 $1000 Gold Liberty Dollar is one of my finest works in 32 years. And since the first 10 were so special, I decided to differentiate them by numbering each one and offering them one at a time on eBay. Thats happening right now. If you are interested in the growth and evolution of the Liberty Dollar as a major emerging currency, I encourage you to get more involved. The world is changing. Metals are becoming money. The eight-year history of the Liberty Dollar is a chronicle of this monetary evolution. Check it out at www.LibertyDollar.org<http://www.libertydollar.org/>. 3.

Buffalo Newspaper Hits Home What is the cost of Liberty? That is the title of the latest article in Buffalo, New York. First, it was the Daniel Buczek Incident of only attempting to use a Silver Liberty at a hockey game that made the news in a big way. Now the long, detailed, article on the Liberty Dollar made the news recently. As you may imagine, the article featured a photo of Karl Reile, the extraordinary RCO for Buffalo, in a very positive explosive article. The latest fury of articles, exploding metal prices, and the maturity of the Liberty Dollar have lead to more RCOs in New York and a lot more awareness about the money in general. All this is combining to develop the right environment to lead our great country back to value. Of course the Presidents 32% rating is a boost and an example of peoples attitude of that [EMAIL PROTECTED]@! criminal in the White House. Please view the latest article and all the articles on the Liberty Dollar at http://www.libertydollar.org/html/articles.asp<http://www.libertydollar.org/html/articles.asp>.

Liberty Dollar Presented to Police Department For the very first time, a police department has responded to a RCOs letter about the introduction of the Liberty Dollar in their town. I am pleased report that the Niles, Illinois, Police Department invited Tom Weber the RCO to present the Liberty Dollar to the entire Department. Tom was well received by all three shifts and now very Police Officer is informed. The presentations focused on the legality, history and usage of the Liberty Dollar. Many of the Officers stayed after the presentation to chat with Tom about the new Liberty Dollar and learn why it is the second most popular private currency and find out that the FRN is the number one private currency. Congrats to Tom. You may contact Tom: 773-203-1738 or via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. 7. Photo of LDU9 and New $20 Counter Mats Shipping Liberty Dollar University 9 was a hit. From the very beginning through the two very busy days, a lot of info was exchanged between the 26 attendees.

We like it that way and are working hard to improve on the delivery time. Your continued patience is greatly appreciate. 8. Letter / Article to the Editor I dont like to air dirty laundry. As my father said, the more you stir ****, the more it stinks. Unfortunately, Richard Jocius, a past outstanding supporter of the Liberty Dollar and a good friend of mine, lost a large shipment of Liberty Dollars and may try to blame me or the Liberty Dollar organization in the patriot press. Although my heart goes out to Richard, we are not responsible for his loss. Neither is Sunshine Minting. And through Richards own mishandling of reporting the missing package, FedEx has already fulfilled their insurance obligation. The worst part is that Richard continued to use a suspect address that he has had so many problems with that he would not even use it for his own mail. When I finally became involved with Richards lost shipment, all I could do was bring closure to the incident. I promptly held the insurance company responsible to pay the invoiced amount, less the deductible. Unfortunately, the price of silver had exploded since the order had been shipped and Richard has had to bear the balance. While there are some whom Richard has spoken to that think that the Liberty Dollar or Sunshine should pay the difference between the invoiced amount and the replacement cost at the current market rate, this is neither right, legal, nor fair. This is a very unfortunate incident, one that has already caused Sunshine to change their shipping procedures and may well lead the Liberty Dollar organization to charge more for shipping and/or seek different insurance methods. Richard, I am sorry for your loss. There is simply nothing I can responsibly do. 9. Success Story / Incident of the Month Please keep those Success Stories rolling in. All are examples of the thousands and thousands of people who want to protect their purchasing power and prefer to make money instead of lose money. Duh! It all seems so simple. Nicolas Leobold filed this flaming report on Wednesday, April 12, 2006: I'm experiencing incredible success spending with Liberty Dollars. In the past two weeks, I've made the following purchases with $10 or $20 dollar Silver Liberty, all at face value (I've NEVER been offered LESS than face value for a LD in my life): 1. 5 taxicab rides in Manhattan, received change 2. Paid for popcorn, bottle of water and a candy at the movie concession stand. 3. Bought a table lamp today for a $20 Liberty plus four FRN dollar bills. 4. Bought half a dozen donuts at Dunkin Donuts yesterday. 5. Purchased a signed copy of John Chodes' "Destroying the Republic: Jabez Curry and the Re-education of the Old South" when he spoke at the Manhattan LP meeting on Monday. 6. Bought a bagel and cream cheese for $1.50 with a $10 Liberty across from Grand Central Station at a Korean grocery, received $8.50 change. The Korean guy was laughing in joy the whole time holding the coin. 7. Spent 3 $20 Liberty pieces over the past 2 months at a local Ukrainian diner. 8. Tipped the bartender after the Manhattan LP meeting with a $10 Liberty and gave her a brochure. 9. Exchanged a $10 piece for $8.50 for an Associate we met at the screening of Aaron Russo's "From Freedom to Fascism" on Long Island. Folks, these Silver Libertys are spending like hotcakes. It's all a matter of attitude. We're doing people a favor and restoring value to America. Typical conversations I've had using the Liberty Dollar: "What is this?!" "It's a $20 dollar silver piece. It's pure silver." "Is it real?" "Yes, it's real. It's pure silver." "This is new, right?" "Yup. 1995, 1996. Pure silver. It's a Liberty Dollar." "Can I use this?" "Sure, you can use it to buy anything. You just can't pay your taxes with it." "Is this legal to use?" "Absolutely. It's 100% legal. The U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Federal Reserve all confirm that it's completely legal and legitimate. You just can't say that it's legal tender. "Can I buy that one from you? Do you have any more?" "Sure, I have a few pieces here, and some certificates. Give me your email, I'll send you some more information." "I'm keeping this. I'm buying it for myself." Charlie replied to this Nics post on the ALD Forum with: Nic... I agree with all you said because I'm having similar success. Your wording is better than what I've been using. Thanks for sharing! I also wanted to share my experience about finding merchants who accept the ALD. I found a gas station (independent type) that keeps taking them again and again. I've spent several hundred dollars in $20 silvers there so far. How did I find that they would take them? Simple, like you I spent one, then another... Because I liked your explanation of what to say, I wanted to share what not to say. I have a LD merchant and after coaching him a few weeks ago on what to say, I heard him tell a customer "it's not legal money, but you can use it." NO NO NO, I told him, it's not legal tender, but it's legal to use. Keep up the good work, Nic. [Editor's note] Keep up the good work indeed! It is thousands of such transactions that are establishing the Liberty Dollar in the marketplace.... Just like money was established in the original marketplace and continuously re-established when the money fails to provide the basic services that it must for it to be used. Anything short of that, it becomes a dead currency. 10. Question of the Month QUESTION: Can I turn in a 100-ounce bar of silver and have it minted into Silver Libertys? ANSWER: Good question, but the answer is no. Like any mint, the volume must be quite large for it to exist because its margins are even worse than a food store. If you had a 5,000 bar it might be economical but given shipping and insurance costs, it would still be better to sell the bar and place the order for the Silver Libertys simultaneously and side-step the costs. 11. Liberty Associate of the Month Many people are attracted to the Liberty Dollar. Some become an Associate and soon disappear. Others become entrenched or Steady Freddys and enrich the Liberty Dollar with their ability to further the currency in their own way. Every once in awhile there is a Liberty Associate who operates out of the box... but only to leave a memory of his many efforts and his dedication to minting his own money! Such is the case with this months Liberty Associate. I met this gentleman many years ago. He was dedicated, and worked diligently in behalf of the Liberty Dollar. He resurfaced recently with a new business that I am sure will accept Liberty Dollars. Because we welcome everyone back, I am proud to welcome Ken Shields back and name him as the Liberty Associate of the Month. Ken is back in the box and even recently started a new business Office In a Box for busy executives (like me). He can be reached at 864.630.2417 or via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Congrats and welcome back Ken. Good to hear from you... 12. Quote of the Month Poor people have access to the courts in the same sense that Christians had access to the lions." Judge Earl Johnson, Jr. Closing Remarks: Another month, another dollar. If you have not contacted me about the Annual National Tour (ANT) or the Annual Audit of the Warehouse, now is the time. My schedule looks pretty full between now and the first of the year. Wishing you well. Many thanks to all the Liberty Associates, Merchants, and RCOs for your continued support. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency which provides us with just weights and measures will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society. Thank you again for all your efforts to return America to value one dollar at a time!
