VON NOTHAUS TRUMP DOLLAR PRODUCTION SUSPENDED

A CoinWeek video interview with "Liberty Dollar" creator Bernard von Nothaus was published November 23, 2016. The accompanying article by Everett Millman of Gainesville Coins says that von NotHaus has suspended production and distribution of his new line of "Trump Dollars". -Editor

After being entangled with the feds for years because his line of gold, silver, and copper pieces were deemed an illegal “private currency” and confiscated, Mr. von Nothaus has resumed his operations. For months, he has been producing his pro-Trump rounds, even before similar products depicting the president-elect began popping up elsewhere. In fact, these Trump Dollars™ appeared shortly after Mr. Trump announced his candidacy last summer.

Now, however, von Nothaus is being impeded because his Wells Fargo merchant account has been frozen. Apparently, the spike in orders since the presidential election has swamped the funding channel of his business.

Commenting on the high volume of orders, von Nothaus told reporters, “We got over 600 orders in the last 5 days—that’s over a hundred orders a day.”

Describing his conversation with a representative from the bank, von Nothaus continued, “I go, ‘You mean we’re too successful with Trump Dollars? Is that what you’re telling me?’ He goes, ‘Yes.'”

As a result of the frozen merchant account, production and distribution of these pieces has been halted. Von Nothaus conceded that, due to this roadblock, it may take months before he can get access to the capital needed to get the products to his customers.
