[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 999151, member: 112"]They are verifiable facts. And just because a Silver Eagle is legal tender that does not mean that you can spend it. I would wager that 99% of the people pout there would refuse to accept it should you try to buy anything with it. But I'll give you yet another dose of reality. A $100 bill is legal tender too. But just try to spend one in a 7-11 after 11 PM. You see Tommy, just because something is legal tender that does not mean that anybody, at any time, has to accept your legal tender as a from of payment. And since th evast majority of the people in this country do not even know what a Silver Eagle is, let have they ever seen one, they will not accept them as payment when you try to buy something. Therefore they are not money. Money circulates and is used in commerce. Silver Eagles do not circulate and they are not used in commerce. Therefore they are not money. THAT - is reality.[/QUOTE]
