> Congress has the sole authority to coin money.
I believe at the current time and for some considerable time every Government in the world has granted to itself a monopoly in the supply of fiat currency. This is unethical, because it forces people, if they wish to use fiat currency, to use that particular currency. It is wrong to force people to do things against their will, unless you're acting in self-defense.
Moreover, monopoly leads to appalling service and abuse of priviledge, *always*.
A particular problem we see here is the manipulation of the supply of fiat currency for the benefit of the Government. One example of that is inflation, which is the transfer of wealth from those who hold fiat currency (those who have saved) to those who hold debt (those who have borrowed). The State is the massive holder of debt and the individuals who have worked and earned their wealth are those who have saved. It is theft, plain and simple, to support massive State spending.
