Bank of Hedonism




Peace Dollars (PDX)

 CURRENT (TRADE RATE) EXCHANGE RATE ~ last updated March 29th, 2024:

                    $1.00 PDX = $4.00 CAD  ~  $1.00 CAD = $0.25 PDX

                    $1.00 PDX = $2.50 USD  ~  $1.00 USD = $0.40 PDX

                    $1.00 PDX = $50.00 MXN  ~  $1.00 MXN = $0.02 PDX


The Nation Of Hedonism currency is REAL money.  The currency is fixed to the gold rate at a rate of $1000 PDX (PEACE DOLLARS) = 1 XAU (one ounce of gold troy round 99.9% pure or better).  The concept began in 2006 (before the existence of The Nation of Hedonism) and over the years it's slowly being turned into a real currency. It is the hope that the PDX will one day be an alternate currency system and that it may trade alongside other world currencies and Bitcoin.  It has a key advantage to Bitcoin being that the currency holds a tangible store of value, making your money much more secure.

In May of 2016, the first PDX coin was ordered and paid for.  5000 twenty-five cent pieces were ordered.  The coins are more than 23% backed in gold (Canadian and US law only requires them to be 5% backed).  The coins can be reedemed for their full value in gold at any time.  YES THERE REALLY IS A PDX CURRENCY!

PLEASE NOTE: Sexy pennies will not be sold for circulation.  They will be issued as change only, and only the exact amount needed to make change.  These coins cost more than their face value to produce.

5 cent "Marijuana Flag" Nickels:
The 2011 - 2021 "Marijuana Flag" wooden nickel is a double dated coin that has the flag of the Nation of Hedonism printed on it.  These coins were minted by B-Token.  The coins serial number is #20

PLEASE NOTE: Wooden nickels will not be sold for circulation.  They are issued as change only, and only the exact amount needed to make change.  These coins cost more than their face value to produce. 

25 Cent "One Love" (Hedonism National Anthem) Quarters:
   

to be released in a future date yet to be announced.  Coin will be dated 2011.  This coins serial number will be #21

 

25 Cent "2010" Quarters:
 

In May 2016, the first 5000 Doobie Central Quarters were minted by Hoffman Mint. 

The Quarter is a 1 of 10 collectible coin, commemorating the DOOBIE CENTRAL Top 10 places to toke in Vancouver/Whistler during the year 2010.  It is obvious from the first coin that this is a Top 10 list for the entire year and not just from "the 2010 games era", as the first coin is commemorating the Annual 420 Rally in Vancouver, which is in April, not February.

 Coin #1 is a MULE. The obverse is minted upside down. This is due to a failure in communication when ordering the coins and is not the fault of Hoffman Mint. The finished product looks very nice :)

Of the 2500 quarters (2500 coins x 10 different coins = 25,000 coins total) that belong to the Nation of Hedonism, 500 (500 coins x 10 different coins = 5000 coins total) are being released into circulation immediately.  The other 2000 coins (2000 coins x 10 different coins = 20,000 coins total) are being held until the set of 10 coins is complete.

The rest of the coins belong to Doobie Central Mail Order Company Ltd., a corporation that legally dissolved years ago.  The quarters that are owned by Doobie Central will be distributed in such a manner that the reserve does not fall below 23%, and only after the entire 10 coin set is produced. They are being kept on reserve.

HERE WAS THE TOP 10 LIST
of places to smoke marijuana

These will be minted 2011 - 2026 (double dated coin), to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of the Nation of Hedonism.  While the coin itself is a "junk coin", the coin will contain a minuscule amount of real gold. The coin looks like gold bullion!  It is anticipated that these coins will be minted in 2025.  This coins serial number will be #22

100 cent "2010"  Dollar coin (also called Legalz within the Nation of Hedonism):

The coin looks like gold bullion!  These coins will have the serial numbers #11, #12

 SILVER COINS
  
$2.50 "International Border" AND "Ferry" Silver Bits:
Currently, any 1 gram .999 pure silver silver round is accepted.  At some point in time in the future, the first PDX silver rounds will be ordered.  These will either be "International Border" #23  1 gram silver rounds OR "Ferry" #24  1 gram silver rounds. Once this occurs, silver rounds that are not PDX will not be accepted as they have no gold backing certification.  The international Border coin will be a double dated coin, to commemorate an anniversary of the Nation of Hedonism.  The Ferry coin will be dated 2014

$2.50 "2010" Silver Bits:
There are 5 different coins to give commemoration to the 5 major controversies of the 2010 Winter Olympics.  The controversies:

  1. No Olympics on Stolen Native Land - In the late 1980's and early 1990's, the Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, Lil’wat and Squamish Nations worked together and created a bid for their nations to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, with them hosting the event entirely on their land.  They sought the approval of all applicable local, state and federal governments that would need to be involved and on board.  There was unanimous support for their bid!  Once it became clear that they were poised to win their bid, the government took over, and took the winning bid away from the natives.  Instead of Mount Currie, it was Whistler and Cypress Mountains that hosted the games.  Not one event or venue was located on native land, which was not the intent of the natives.  The natives protested the takeover, wearing shirts and bandanas saying "No Olympics on Stolen Native Land".  Most of these natives wanted the Olympics to be on their own land instead, managed by their own people, and with their own native communities reaping the economic benefit, which was the original plan.
  2. Olympic Pizza - VANOC was the corporation formed to manage the Olympics, and they were in charge of copyright enforcement during the Olympics.  Shortly after the corporation formed, they decided to sue Olympic Pizza on Denman Street in Downtown Vancouver, a small mom and pop operation, demanding that the pizza place change its name and logo.  The pizza company protested as it had been there with that name and logo for 25 years.  In the end, the matter went to court, with the judge ordering Olympic Pizza to remove the Olympic rings from its logo, but allowed the pizza place to keep its name as well as the main torch as the logo of the pizza place.
  3. Muk Muk - When VANOC introduced the 2010 mascots (Quatchi, Miga & Sumi), there was a protest that the Vancouver Island Marmot was not included.  VANOC listened and heard the protest, but instead of creating a new mascot, they created a "fan of the mascots", and this fan was MUK MUK.  The announcement that Muk Muk was not actually a mascot was a disappointment for those protesting the non inclusion of the Vancouver Island Marmot, as it was a bittersweet win (and loss at the same time).  During the games, Muk Muk souvenirs were by far the most popular of the four characters, and were also the rarest.
  4. Womens Ski Team - The Womens Ski Team was excluded from competing at the 2010 Winter Olympics.  The Womens Ski Team had never competed in the Olympics prior to the 2010 games, and this was their first attempt at entering the Olympics.  When it became clear that the IOC was not going to budge on the issue, the women took the matter to court for equal rights.  The IOC stated publicly, that if the courts force the IOC to allow the women to compete, that they would NEVER hold another Olympics in Canada.  In the end, the judge decided that the Olympics is a private event, and (not unlike any other private event) as a private event, it is up to the IOC who can or cannot participate.  The IOC later decided, only after the 2010 games, to allow the Womens Ski Team to compete in the Olympics starting in 2014.
  5. Jamaica Ski Team - Errol Kerr, an athlete who had competed in the past for the US Ski Team, decided to compete in the Olympics for Jamaica!  This was the first time ever that Jamaica had a ski team.  Kerr is a dual citizen with both the United States and Jamaica.  Kerr made it as far as the quarter finals, and in the end, came in at ninth place, with a time of 1:13.71. Unfortunately, the media did not take the Jamaican Ski Team seriously, resulting in very little coverage of the event.  Most people during the games were not even aware of the fact that Jamaica even had a ski team.

These coins will have the serial numbers #13, #14, #15, #16, #17

The Nation of Hedonism currently issues and accepts Canadian $20 for $20 at par, and will continue to do into the foreseeable future.

$20.00 "2010" Silver Shekel:
This is a 2010 coin with the Doobie Central Inukshuk.  This will have the serial number #18




GOLD COINS (XAU)
      

99.9% (or better) pure gold bullion round is issued and accepted for its certified value in weight.  For example, a 1/10oz troy .999 Canadian Maple Leaf round has a value of $100 PDX and a value of 0.1 XAU. 1 gram of 99.9% pure gold holds a value of approximately $32.15 PDX.

 

$100.00 "2010" coin:
This coin will have the 5 (original) Doobie Central logos to form the RINGS.  This will have the serial number #19

 

 

A NOTE ABOUT 2010 DATED COINS:
 If you notice the date on the coins, it is 2010 - as in before the Nation of Hedonism began. This is because of the fact that the coins were designed (but never minted) by Doobie Central back in 2010, when the company was still a legal entity.

The entire series of coins are dedicated to the Vancouver Whistler 2010 Olympics, though that said, the coins are for the entire year, and not just the 2 weeks of the Olympics.

The original agreement back in 2011 was that Doobie Central Mail Order Company Ltd. would pay for half of the 2010 coins produced, and the Nation of Hedonism would pay for the other half.  As the company has since been dissolved, it is understood that Doobie Central's share of the debt for the 2010 series will never be paid. The coins are still being produced because law 1a states that everything is legal in the Nation of Hedonism! 

There are 19 different DOOBIE CENTRAL 2010 dated coins in the following denominations:

Junk coins: $0.25, $1.00.  Silver coins: $2.50, $20.00.  Gold coin: $100.00
