A number of Muslim neighborhoods in the US have expressed intention to use these medallions for dollar-denominated barter trading in their communities, led most actively by Emir Ismail Bryant in the Carolinas, Emir Najib Abdul-Haqq in Georgia and Emir Khalil Abdullahi in Pennsylvania.

They took Ron Paul and the Libertarians a bit too seriously.

Well, couple of weeks ago, I exchanged a camera and some lenses for another lens. Does that count?

Since it states on it "not legal tender" and makes no claim to be a US dollar, I doubt there is any problem with it. It is just another of many "medallions" in certified precious metals.

I doubt it for the very reason above.

Bartering and issuing a currency is not the same thing.
I would have thought you'd know that though.

FWIW..NotHaus was declared a domestic terrorist this year.

Hence it was a question, but really along the lines of the OP itself. If the story is true, they're using dollar-denominated gold coins, and I used dollar-denominated photography equipment.

Have you never done that? I might as well bet, no republican has... ever.
