<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1351871, member: 26302&quot;]I mainly agree, but the silver pack was misleading since it referenced 1792 as the controlling act and it was not. Also, they only reason silver was given was because it was a SILVER certificate, not a US note or FRN. The US did not redeem currency for silver, they only redeemed silver certificates, because they were explicitly a promise for silver. I simply disagree silver was a monetary metal after 1873 legally. My view is silver was a commodity, (well suited for coinage), after 1873 legally in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agreed its off topic, I just wanted readers to be clear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
