Today, we’ll be discussing a moment from the film when Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer’s character boldly displays an illegal Silver Circle coin in public during his speech at a bookstore. This event was included as a tip of the hat to real-world sound money champion James U. Blanchard III, who helped fight for the legalization of private ownership of gold bullion in America (which was illegal until 1974) by publicly challenging law enforcement to arrest him while displaying a 2-ounce gold bar in front of the media at several press conferences across the US.
