<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 792303, member: 66&quot;]Breen is probably referring to unlimited legal tender status which was granted by the Coinage Act of 1965 (although he is still wrong, there was other legislation passed in 1933 that gave it unlimited legal tender status.&nbsp; I was unaware of that legislation myself until recently.)&nbsp; The Coinage Act of 1864 gave the cent limited legal tender status to the amount of ten cents in any one transaction. It also created the Bronze cent and the two cent piece.&nbsp; It gave the two cent piece limited legal tender status to the amount of twenty cents.&nbsp; This was the first time in US history that legal tender status was granted to the base metal coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
