<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 839387, member: 22143&quot;]Technically these coins are not considered &quot;lawful money&quot; as they have been deemed &quot;legal tender&quot;.&nbsp; It&#039;s a grey area and a controversial one at that, but generally this money is considered a denomination of the Federal Reserve type dollars and thus not subject to constitutional issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For this to make much sense, you have to understand the difference between lawful money, legal tender and the role of the Federal Reserve which isn&#039;t covered by the US Constitution.&nbsp; One of the purposes for it&#039;s creation is avoidance of constitutional restrictions on money.&nbsp; As far as I know, there has only been one significant court case that even touches on this and the PM coins issued by the mint now and that had to do with the IRS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
