What are Americans supposed to do with, or about, the information about paper money?

Thomas Jefferson wanted to use spices for money, some countries used salt for money and perhaps some still do.

There is nothing wrong with using paper money; the problem is not paper money. In the political spectrum the only problem Americans must solve, or keep a handle on, is unconstitutionality. In fact in the political arena unconstitutionality is the only government crime Americans can cure, or have the constitutional power of force to cure.

No, that force is not the Second Amendment but is stated loud and clear in Article I, Section 2.

Private or public is less of a concern to me than monopoly control. If I had free choice of what money to use, I'd be much happier with the situation.

I'm not particularly in favor of non-backed paper money, myself, but it's worth noting that the federal government *doesn't* issue our current currency. It's issued by private parties… that's a big part of the problem.

I would prefer to not use feds as well, and since no one I do business with here in SoCal will take anything else, I reduce my protest to spending virtually nothing at all. Actually this has a good effect, I won’t partake in their money system, I won’t give the state of CA their ripoff sales tax, and I’m saving.

Americans have been bludgeoned relentlessly, so its not shocking to see, my fellow Americans advocate toxic poison, nobody dies right away, we all eat it and thus its okay. Paper money is toxic, Government doesn’t have the “power” to steal by and defraud the nation! Extortion is a criminal act, 10 trillion dollars that is not regulation. We are sipping on poison and telling ourselves it’s so yummy.

Here I’m going to regulate you. Just call it divine right, essays on the internet, or just everyone says I can; So, I go home whip a document a call a bond for a cool million, print send it to this Corporate guy has a super fast ink jet and he whips out a million. Gives it back I bill you 5000 and hand it off to five people waiting in the lobby. They take the 200,000,000 fractionalize it to 2 million and make loans to people who fractionalize it and loan it and by the time it get to you the purchasing power is 10% less then the those in the lobby.

Not only is “regulation” a huge scam it rewards corruption, a life of work for a piece of dept paper. Trillions, in wars, foreign aid, swarming agencies, corporate welfare, bridges to no where, low grade education, space exploration, thousands of military bases, grants, research, monitory drugs for elementary school children, bailout, stimulus; the excesses of which, are beyond comprehension, doled on to me as my obligation. CRIMINAL!

Stop using Federal Reserve Notes (debt notes), look into Community Currency, Liberty Dollars, Bank of Lakota, E-Gold exchange that suits your fancy – the government is derelict in its duty. Fraud and willful economic destruction is not consensual representation.

The issue of paper money has been controversial for much longer than this article. The issue has been revisited many times throughout U.S. history, even to the present day. The power to issue paper money as a legal tender is viewed today as derived from Congress’s power to regulate the economy. See link below, though there are many essays on the Internet about this subject to varying degrees of detail.
