<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5481, member: 112"]I agree - it was demonitized. But there are also many coins in our past that never were legal tender. Cents & nickels for example were not legal tender until the 1860's if memory serves. And they were only made legal tender by subsequent laws in the years that followed. In effect - all previous laws regarding the legal tender status of any legally issued US coin were overruled & nullified by the Coinage Act of 1965.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
