<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 5238582, member: 115909&quot;]I think you’re misunderstanding my question.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was asking if someone in 1876-1877 could take a $20 <i>silver certificate </i>into the bank and ask the bank clerk to redeem it for a $20 <i>gold </i>Double Eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though the certificate says “redeemable in <b>silver</b>” due to the fact that a $20 silver certificate has a face value of $20 just like a Double Eagle did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or would the bank clerk be like “Sorry mate you’ll need a $20 <b>gold certificate </b>if you want a $20 gold Double Eagle. All I can give you for your $20 silver certificate is 20x silver dollars or 40x silver half dollars or some combination of $20 in silver coins only.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
