US Mint – US Federal Reserve
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel Tips (www.cheapfamilytraveltips.com), Nick, Regan, Maggie, and Kate visited the US Mint and US Federal Reserve in Denver, Colorado. The United States Mint is where US coins are minted and USA coins and coin sets are made, including US mint gold coins, and we took a US Mint Denver tour to see how the coins are made. US currency is no longer backed by US mint gold bullion, but the US Mint makes millions of coins for circulation every year. We also visited the US Federal Reserve, and our self-guided tour explained what is the Federal Reserve. The US federal government operates the Federal Reserve and monitors the way currency is circulated, the US banking system, and it identifies counterfeit currency. We learned a lot about United States money, and all the kids walked out with a bag of shredded dollar bills!

IRS Seizing American’s Passport
The title is not only true, it is pathetic, because this s**t is real life and it’s against the US Constitution. For some reason most US citizen’s don’t seem to know, or don’t wanna know, or they’re too busy with reality shows, dancing with the stars, porn, sport’s programs, or escapism, to give a damn. But, this news is not secret, it is in the mainstream media, now. Keep diverting your attention away to entertainment, US Citizens, and one morning very soon you will wake up with no rights and no country. We are no longer free. We are no longer brave! America from Freedom to Fascism (see the movie on youtube by the late great Mr. Aaron Russo)
