Part 2 Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbyQB8e-rQg

Educational video explaining the Constitutional and legal history of the US Dollar. This video contains many high resolution images showing many examples of all the the money the United States has produced since the very beginning. This is the thinking of the people who support a return to the Gold Standard, and rightful Constitutional money. I used nothing but established historical facts, and clear images of the money itself. This is what Ron Paul is talking about, and this is WHY we have the crisis we have now. Regardless of partisan politics, or economic philosophy, gold and silver money is the law. It's vitally important all Americans understand what exactly a dollar IS.

  • EMI blocked your second video. Could you possibly re-upload it without the offending music? I found it interesting and wanted to re-share it. I posted part one on our convention blog. Part one works fine, but without part 2 it kind of leaves you hanging. :)

  • @FUNconventionTV You can go to my channel, and it's listed on the right. YouTube blocked it, but they didn't pull it. You can see it from my channel.

  • The sign of the bars and the S= $

    Derived from Spanish Peso, the Americans used for your currency, called Dollar, originally Spanish Silver Pillar Dollar (Dolar pilar de plata Español), a word of Spanish origin. In the Spanish coins in the 15-16th century there were two pillars representing the Pillars of Hercules (Strait of Gibraltar). Dollar word comes from the Spanish tálero, which in turn comes from the German word thaler (as the Germans called the Real Español)

  • @ciorbo0852 - interesting. As I understand it, the $ is an abbreviation for US, or Units of Silver. (U written over the S) ... dating back to handwritten ledgers and accounting. The world dollar comes from Joachimstaller, shortened to thaller. Hispanic origins for dollar come from the Spanish Milled Dollar started in 1627, and common in the Americas. An SMD was 8 reales and was styled so that one could cut them into "pieces of eight" ... "dollar" is a unit of measure for silver

  • @JohnFromChicago I went to your channel and found the 2nd video. Though YouTube has not pulled your video, they have blocked, as you've stated. If it is blocked, how does one view it? Thanks.

  • @JohnFromChicago It is still blocked.

  • @Laughingblades Some Jews are even more smart -- They steal razors, that way they can save money on razors and still have the razors to shave their beards. lol

  • @Robert5p3 I know right? It's genius!

  • @Laughingblades Jews are smart, they know they can save money if they do not buy razors to shave their beards.

  • 14 people are douchers

  • @JohnFromChicago Nope. It's not. (I'm in the U.S.)

  • @JohnFromChicago I see it but when I click the video I get NOTHING. And this message is listed "Money - A Brief History Of The American Dollar - Part 2 of 2"
