[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 5415, member: 487"]Great answers. Both of course are correct. Now, let me throw in a little extra. Our currency states that this note is legal tender for all debts public and private. The older currency also added that it is redeemable in lawful money at the United States treasury, or an any federal reserve bank. Now I have had many people not accept silver certificates for fear they were forgeries. As we travel around the nation, we routinely pass out various coins as tips and such. Many an Indian cent was turned away. With your next purchase, try handing the cashier a Large cent, and see the expression on their face. Of course my favorite is when the total ends in five, so that I can throw a Two cent coin, and Three cent nickel on the counter. The only coin ever produced in the US that does not have legal tender status is the Trade Dollar. The US government demonitized this coin. Isn't numismatics interesting? So many cool things. You just have to love it :)[/QUOTE]
