Regional Currency Office Business Plan

Have you responded to "Do you want to make money, do good, and have fun" yet? Have you been a Liberty Associate for a few months? Have you gotten a "feel" for the serious Solution that the Liberty Dollar brings to the monetary system and enjoyed the absolute fun of using the new gold and silver currency?

Are you ready to REALLY make the new money a big part of your life? Do you REALLY want to do more good? And of course, do you want to have more fun as you spread the Liberty Dollar far and wide where you live and work? If you answer is YES! YES! YES! Then you are encouraged to read about the RCO Business Plan and consider opening a Regional Currency Office where you live.

The RCO Business Plan is your opportunity to "highjack" your town and liberate it from the depreciating effects (soon to grow to be much worse) Federal Reserve money to the beautiful effects of the Liberty Dollar. Yes, this is a Business Plan, and it is your opportunity to get the Liberty Dollar at the greatest discount and do the greatest good for your RCO, family and the community within your region.

The brightest, the most inspired, the action orientated Liberty Associates become RCOs because they know that for America to survive the coming monetary crisis, we must have a reliable monetary system that is based on value, not debt. We must have "just weights and measures" and that must start with our money.

Lets face it, when the Liberty Dollar launched over five years ago, we had little more than a hope and a prayer, much like our Founding Fathers in 1776 when they went to war against the largest military power on Earth. America went where no one had gone before. Likewise, the Liberty Dollar is a totally new concept of money that is issued and valued by the people who use it i.e. by their action in the free marketplace. There is never been a currency like the Liberty Dollar. It warrants your investigation and merit.

Just as a "free market currency" had ever been issued by the people themselves against the largest monetary power on Earth, there was no sure way of 'how to do it.' But by the grace of God, the Liberty Dollar has enjoyed a very successful and outstanding five years! Now it is time to get serious with a RCO Business Plan, the basis for our future growth and ultimate success of a value backed currency for our country.

Today is your day! We are pleased to introduce you to the RCO Business Plan for The Liberty Dollar that was designed and implemented by an intern Executive Committee of Bernard von NotHaus, Jason Pratt, and Wayne Hicks.

For you "just-the-facts" types, here is a quick summary of the new RCO Business Plan, short and sweet:

1. The Liberty Dollar is distributed in a simple two-tier system. This empowers the RCO to grow his distribution within his region, make more money, and thereby achieving the goal of returning America to a value backed currency. It is not a multi-level market plan (MLM).
2. The RCO gets the Liberty Dollar at the greatest "market-driven" discount and distributes it to the Liberty Associates and Merchants in his/her region.
3. All Associates are encouraged to exchange ALD for FRN with Merchants in their area and refer them to become Associates for a $100 Referral.
4. All Merchants are encouraged to enhance their businesses by becoming Associates and getting Liberty Dollars at the greater Associate discount.
5. All RCOs have an exclusive region based on postal ZIP codes.
6. RCOs convert ALD to FRN at face value for "contracted merchants" only within their region. RCOs may provide convertibility to anyone else.
7. RCOs are encouraged to be entrepreneurial and operate their business for maximum profits, do the most good and have the most fun with the Liberty Dollar within their region.
8. All RCOs are encourage to attend the Liberty University to learn how to operate the Business Plan for optimum results, attend the annual RCO Congress to network with other RCOs, and help self-govern the new monetary structure.

The RCO Business Plan

The new Business Plan was created to respond to the evolving Liberty Dollar economy. When the currency was introduced in 1998, it was an unstructured free-for-all, with each Associate identified with a star on a map. Eventually we realized that some Associates were more dedicated, more business oriented, and more successful. They began to invest sizable amounts of money and time into growing their Liberty Dollar business. It became obvious that while all Associates were encouraged to promote the Liberty Dollar, in practice only a limited number were willing or able to make the effort succeed. Those who were willing to take the risks with their capital and time had a right to profit. Understandably, the successful Associates became increasingly concerned as their Liberty business grew under the original model. As a result, this RCO Business Plan was established so that those who developed their region could profit from it. The RCO is an independent Liberty Dollar currency exchange business. As such, each RCO is annually chartered, operates under a specific Code of Ethics, and is regionally defined by list of postal ZIP codes and a map.

1. RCOs get Liberty Dollars at greatest market-driven discount direct from NORFED and distribute them to the general public, Merchants, and Associates in their region. Only an RCO can place market driven orders for a 1,000 ounces or more.
2. RCOs may enter into a Merchant Contract with a merchant within their region and provide convertibility from ALD back into FRN. c. RCOs establish their own currency exchange rates within their region.
3. RCOs earn high visibility in their communities as they work to put the Liberty Dollar into local circulation.
4. RCOs join a network of like-minded business people who are serious about bringing change to the nation's monetary system.

1. The market driven orders for 1,000 ounces of Liberty Dollars are limited to RCOs.
2. Associates can get any amount of Liberty Dollars from their RCO at the daily discount rate that is posted at www.LibertyDollar.org. All Liberty Associates who are not yet in a RCO region may get their Liberty Dollars directly from the NORFED Office.
3. Merchants can get Liberty Dollars from their local RCO or from the NORFED Office if they are not in a RCO region.
4. Associates can exchange ALD at will, as they see fit.
5. The discount on specie (gold and silver), paper and digital Liberty Dollars is standardized to the same daily discount for all Liberty Associates and Merchants

3. RCOs are phased-in so eventually every zip code in the United States will be assigned to a RCO. So highjack you town now and become the RCO for your region.

Regional Currency Offices

The opening line of Thomas Paine's famous pamphlet The American Crisis was, "These are the times that try men's souls." And indeed they were. They were also some of the most exciting times that our great county ever experienced. And again, these are the times that will try men's money if not their soul. Is there something about the Liberty Dollar that cries out to you? Do you hear the call? Maybe it is purely financial. Maybe you just want to make a bunch of money! Great, because we want you to make a bunch of money. We want lots of people to make a bunch of money. In fact we want the whole country, the whole world, to make a bunch of "real money". Because that is exactly what the RCO Business Plan is all about as the giant fiat money bubble is converted back to value.

As long as you understand that the Liberty Dollar is not an investment, being interested for purely financial reasons are fine. After all, The Liberty Dollar is all about money. And money is no good unless you can use it. Even passive life insurance provides peace of mind if not pleasure. Or maybe the call is one of pure patriotism. Or maybe it is the economics. And then it could just be the sense of excitement. The sense of being a part of the largest peacetime efforts to lead our country out of bondage, much like Moses did some 3,500 years ago. The exact reason does not matter, as long as you heed your call. For that is exactly what our Founding Fathers did. The American Revolution was exciting, and it was profitable for some, and it was a heroic monumental movement that culminated in the founding of the United States - the first nation to acknowledge that it was under God.

Who knows what makes a person risk 'his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor' as our Founding Fathers did and become a "hero". Not even the hero knows as one of man's finest of traits goes undefined. So regardless of your particular call, as long as you are not 'against'us', and you want to play an active role (make money), then please consider applying for a Regional Currency Office.

Starting a RCO is starting a business. All Regional Currency Offices (RCOs) are independent Liberty Dollar exchange businesses. As such, each is annually chartered, operate under a specific Code of Ethics, and is regionally defined by a list of postal ZIP codes with only one RCO per region.

Sound interesting? Like to be a part of a national organization of like-minded individuals, who refuse to have their money stolen by inflation, defrauded by un-backed fiat currency, or their family and business put at risk by anyone's un-sound monetary scheme? Being a part of the Liberty Economy is exciting, interesting, and rewarding, whether as an Associate, Merchant, or a RCO. Please read the following before you reach for the RCO application:

2. RCO Code of Ethics

1. a. RCO shall operate within its geographical region and shall not infringe on the region of another RCO. RCO may operate outside their defined region, but not within any other RCO region.
2. RCO shall convert Liberty Dollars to FRNs at full face value for any Contracted Merchant within his region.
3. RCO shall, if asked and if possible, financially assist other RCOs faced with unusually large conversion requests.
4. RCO shall always encourage the enrollment of new Liberty Associates and Merchants
5. RCO shall make Liberty Dollars available to Liberty Associates, Merchants, and the public to the best of their abilities.
6. RCO will never misrepresent the Liberty Dollar as "legal tender" or in any other way that would draw the Liberty Dollar into any criminal or civil legal action

3. Merchant Services

RCOs support local merchants by educating them about the benefits of using the Liberty Dollar, and by offering conversion to FRN as necessary to protect the business integrity of the merchant. This may include assistance in merchandising Liberty Dollar displays, materials, and training the salespeople and clerks, and owner on how to use the Liberty Dollar profitably. The RCO recognizes that merchants may not always use all of the Liberty Dollars they receive, and may at times need to convert them to FRNs to pay suppliers, make payroll, pay taxes, etc. RCOs provide convertibility from ALD to FRN at face value for Liberty Merchants who have signed and abide by the terms of the Merchant Contract.

4. Liberty Associate Services

Liberty Associates are entitled to certain discounts on Liberty Dollars, materials, and other promos related to Liberty Dollars, which may be offered from time to time by a RCO or NORFED. RCOs will actively promote the Liberty Dollar and invite the enrollment of Liberty Associates by explaining the Associates' benefits. An RCO is not required to convert Liberty Dollars to FRNs unless the person is a Contracted Merchant with that RCO. There are not dues, meeting, or other requirements demanded of an Associate, except no to misrepresent the Liberty Dollar.

5. Region

Every RCO receives a description of its physical region that is defined by a list of zip codes and a map. The actual size is defined by population density, terrain, state or national bounties, and an effort to utilize the longitudinal and latitudinal elements of the zip codes to create a series of "blocks" to eliminate any doglegs or panhandles in the overall layout of the RCO regions. Eventually every zip code in the United States will be assigned to a RCO. Maximum physical size is limited to a 50-mile radius. Of course this only applies in the most unpopulated areas of the United States. Initially a region is designed on a circle based on the RCO's zip code with a population base of 750,000, which is then squared and defined by a list of zip codes. Often, the actual zip codes shape a RCO region as it is configured to "fill-out" to a state line, lake or some other feature that acts as a natural divider. So a RCO region may be more rectangular in shape than a square. Population is usually the limiting factor in the actual size of each RCO. Currently, no RCO contains over 750,000 people thereby giving it room to grow to a full million as it is acknowledged that our success will take place over time.

6. Public Services

An RCO educates the local public about the benefits of the Liberty Dollar to the community at every opportunity, cheerfully explaining the Liberty Dollar whenever asked. An RCO is not required to convert Liberty Dollars to FRNs for the public.

We encourage you to apply! The RCO Business Plan has already proven to be an exciting and profitable way for those who meet the qualifications to make more money, do more good and have more fun! Please consider becoming a RCO and contact the NORFED Office with your questions. Get in now on the ground floor of this immense experience to return America to value - one Liberty Dollar at a time. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
