Same. The 1792 Coinage Act (http://www.runtogold.com/2008/01/1792-coinage-act/) actually provides not for life in prison but:


SEC. 19. And be it further enacted, That if any of the gold or silver coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same ought to be pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent intent, and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offences, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall suffer death.

Right -- not sure if you had the time (it is a very long essay) but James Grant notes that in his opening paragraph, and in the last paragraph he mentions (life in prison) as a hat-tip to the 21st century.

There's more damage left for the fed to do. And anything that brings awareness to the issue is a good thing. Dugg.

If we get the Audit there will be plenty more following Bernanke to the gallows.
