COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Federal agents have raided sites in Idaho and Indiana linked to the "Liberty Dollar," a silver coin used by groups that oppose the Federal Reserve System and the federal income tax, a newspaper reported.
FBI agents seized records and dies for casting the coins at three locations Thursday in this north Idaho resort town, and FBI and Secret Service agents also raided the headquarters of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act & Internal Revenue Code, known as NORFED, in Evansville, Ind.
The raids were confirmed by four sources close to the investigation who asked not to be identified, and a notice was posted on the Internet by NORFED founder Bernard von NotHaus, according to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane.
