<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 321350, member: 3011&quot;]A couple of years ago I was looking into the $5 canadian maple leaf bullion coins.&nbsp; I sent an email to Scotiabank and asked whether the coin was $5 legal tender in Canada.&nbsp; The response I received was that it was not, but that some people and banks might honor it voluntarily anyway even if silver slipped below $5.&nbsp; They said the reason why there was a face value is that it enables the coins to escape certain taxes when they are exported from Canada to other parts of the world.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My understanding is that US bullion coins are different and that Congress legislated that the coins carry a face value and be declared legal tender.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
