Over the past year Rob has been working heavily with Chris Duane who I introduced him to back when he was a guest on TSP.  Together they have released a series of silver medallions and it has really  helped Rob’s new mint get off the ground.  So we are fortunate to have Chris on today’s show as well.

Rob Grays telling Congress to Ignore the Fed

Rob Grays telling Congress to Ignore the Fed

On August 2nd, 2012 Rob Gray, the Executive Director of the American Open Currency Standard was summoned by Congressman Ron Paul to appear before a House Committee on Parallel Currencies and the role they might play in the future of our economy.

Rob did a great job and learned a lot of things behind the scenes of the congressional machine, mainly that it isn’t as big a deal many times as we are led to believe and that it is in fact easier to get into Congress then to get on a plane.  You can read about his experience on the AOCS website here.

Today though you can hear about the entire thing from Rob himself as he joins us on TSP for the fourth time.  You will also hear some things about the “legal tender law” that will surprise you, I know it surprised me.

Episode-866- Rob Gray on Copper, Silver and Gold

Copper Has a Long History as Money of the Common Man

Copper Has a Long History as Money of the Common Man

Today we are joined by Rob Gray, founder of the AOCS (American Open Currency Standard)  to discuss AOCS copper, silver and gold as a barter currency and all things monetary.

The AOCS exists to expedite the implementation of metal as money.   They actively prospect, train, and support the 3 groups that comprise the AOCS: Merchants that accept AOCS Approved Currencies, Currency Issuers that conceptualize & requisition new minted pieces, and Trade Coordinators that exchange the Currencies with the general public. The AOCS promotes local enterprise and rebuilds local community wealth.

The AOCS promotes a “value for value exchange”

A good way to understand this is to think about the US fiat currency. Imagine a $50 US Federal Reserve Note. Think about what it is “worth”. Most people will quickly answer “$50?. However, the note is merely paper with ink on it, worth plainly no more than a few cents. The currency is worth “$50? only because a merchant is willing to give you $50 worth of value in exchange for it. Also, the courts have decreed Federal Reserve Notes “legal tender”, meaning that the can be used in payment of taxes and to satisfy a debt obligation.

So a paper currency is worth something only when someone is willing to give you something in exchange for it. An AOCS silver currency, however, is valuable whether it is traded or saved. When you exchange silver with a merchant, you are trading value for value. It has two “values”: an intrinsic value and a face or trade value. When you exchange an AOCS currency at a participating merchant, you receive “face value”. If you ever need to melt and sell the currency (which we do not recommend), you will receive “bullion” value. Either way, the currency can not be artificially inflated and will never be “worthless”.

When you exchange in trade with an AOCS Merchant you trade Value for Value, instead of paying for goods and services with fiat debt based Money.
