<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 145507, member: 4626&quot;]I think I heard that US gold coins minted 1933 or earlier were demonetized in the same act that made it illegal for US citizens to privately own gold held in the US (repealed 12/31/74; not sure if repealing the act also made them legal tender again.) so not sure if they are still considered legal tender or not (of course even in just melt value they&#039;d be worth more than face anyway).&nbsp; Any confirmation on that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also for a brief time trade dollars were not considered legal tender in the US, but that act was later rescinded.</p><p><br /></p><p>All other US coins that have been minted since 1793 are still considered legal tender.&nbsp; You want to pay for a 50 cent candy bar with 25 2 cent pieces or 100 half cents, feel free, but think it would be a waste of perfectly good coins worth far more than face value, lol.&nbsp; But yes, a 2 cent piece is still recognized as being legal tender for 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
