## Resource

Sail through the true history of “pirate money,” from Spanish doubloons and privateers like John Paul Jones and Jean Lafitte to modern transactional gold and silver. Kevin Freeman and Mike Carter unpack how fiat devaluation, debt, and inflation mirror past monetary failures—and why states are enabling gold-backed spending again. Learn how state-authorized solutions and fintech like glint enable everyday purchases with vaulted physical gold, promoting liberty, security, and values. As America nears 250 years, discover practical steps toward honest money aligned with the Founders and Scripture.
