Bernard von NotHaus was convicted on multiple counterfeiting charges. The jury determined that he produced and distributed coins closely resembling U.S. currency, finding him guilty of both creating and circulating these 'counterfeit' coins with the intent to defraud. They also found him guilty of producing and distributing silver coins meant to be used as money, mimicking the appearance of genuine U.S. coins or using original designs, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 485 and § 486. The jury convicted Bernard of conspiring to violate federal laws related to counterfeiting. Since his trial, The New York Times has quoted von NotHaus's supporters describing him as 'the Rosa Parks of the constitutional currency movement.'' The U.S. Government is the largest international criminal organization in history and Bernard von NotHaus is a patriot and activist advocating for sensible monetary policies and liberty.
