The Liberty dollar is an alternative form of currency issued in the United States by a non-profit organization known as NORFED. The paper currency is backed by precious metal (silver and gold bullion) and is redeemable when presented at a NORFED Regional Currency Office. The coin currency is minted from pure silver or gold.
NORFED stands for National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act, whose stated goal is to encourage use of the Liberty currency and to highlight the fallacies of the U.S. Federal Reserve "fiat currency."
