"All the perplexities, confusion
and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or
Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as downright
ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation."
-- John Adams (1735-1826) 2nd US President

Why business owners should be Liberty Merchants
Thank you for considering the Liberty Dollar! We would like
to do that first because we know how valuable time is to a business
owner. The old saying is very true: "Time is money."
First of all, to become a Liberty Merchant all you need to do is begin accepting the Liberty Dollar as one of the forms of payment you will take for providing your goods and services to customers. Then to complete the circle, you begin to give the Liberty Dollar as change and begin to build a reputation in the community as the merchant that "gives change in silver." This will increase your traffic and build loyalty with your customers because they know that you will accept the Liberty Dollars you have given them in change. This in turn reaches into the community and helps to establish you as a business leader.
Second, the Liberty Dollar is a circulating currency, not a banking currency. In other words, a trade currency. Because it is usually not accepted by Federal Reserve affiliated financial institutions (commercial banks) or large corporate marketers (i.e.: stores like Wal-Mart), the Liberty Dollar remains in the community and is a natural tool for building local commerce. By accepting the Liberty Dollar you have taken a significant step toward bringing value back to local shopping. As more people recognize the Liberty Dollar and spend more into circulation, you will notice other positive effects, such as:

- A growing circle of customers who are also your friends, and
- An increased awareness that the local merchant is no longer just another business in town, but is an indispensable part of the community, just as it was before the arrival of the "Super Stores."
Who are the Liberty Merchants?
Since the introduction of the Liberty Dollar in 1998, there has
begun a revolution in the United States; a revolution of businesspeople
who are tired of being overrun by transnational corporations with
thousands of locations, tired of being forced to cut prices, profits,
and payrolls to a bare minimum in order to survive in their local
economy. Some business owners have decided to do something about
it. They are the small-business-folk of America, who have watched
as foreign products sold at devastatingly low prices by marketing
giants have funneled vast sums of money away from their
community. They are the Liberty
Merchants.
Many small businesses have been forced to close and many jobs lost as corporate giants siphon the wealth out of middle-class America. One of the ways the survivors are fighting this is by using the Liberty Dollar. They recognize the need to return local economies to a form of value that doesn't sacrifice quality for low prices. The Liberty Dollar makes this possible because it:
Liberty Merchants are the pillars of their community. Their dedication is evident in their willingness to take risks and provide goods and services to their community and keep money, and the wealth it represents, in the local community where it belongs.

The Liberty Dollar makes this possible because it:
- Consists of historically valuable commodities: gold and silver,
- Is unacceptable to banks and multi-nationals due to its non-accpetance by the Federal Reserve System,
- Is destined by its very nature to remain in local circulation only,
- Is designed to be inflation-proof, and
- Is available at a discount (if the merchant has completed a free Liberty Merchant Agreement) that allows them to actually gain additional spending power each time they use it.
