<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2469516, member: 39&quot;]While I do not like that concept either, &quot;legal tender&quot; merely refers to means of payment that have to accepted when settling a <i>debt</i>. (At least that is how it works in the US, and also here in DE.) So when you plan to buy something, there is no debt yet, and the merchant - whether it is a supermarket or a post office - may refuse to accept your funny <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> money.</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as there is an at least somewhat convenient way of getting such money redeemed, I would not care much. (In Germany I would take such pieces to a Bundesbank branch office.) But if it boils down to the Mint selling you &quot;money&quot; that is (a) hardly ever accepted for payments, and (b) almost impossible to turn in, I&#039;d think twice about buying them ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
