<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1088387, member: 17919"]As I said, I think it's a bad way to run a monetary system. Unless there's a major change in government, say from wartime occupation to peacetime democracy, a country should redeem indefinitely those tokens that it has foisted upon its citizens to accept as money. In the United States, for example, all coins and notes issued since 1793 by the US government for use in the US are still legal tender. A government that arbitrarily demonetizes coins that it itself has issued is cheating its citizens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
