<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silver Striker, post: 346999, member: 1745&quot;]I&#039;ve been searching for the actual Coinage Act Language but while I was searching I did find this...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Trade Dollar Remonetized (1965)</p><p><br /></p><p>A little known fact is that the Coinage Act of July 23, 1965, which provided for the production of clad coins, contained this wording (Section 102; italics ours): &quot;All coins and currencies of the United States (including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations), regardless of when coined or issued, shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private, public charges, taxes, duties, and dues.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Under this act, it seems that trade dollars were given the legal tender status that had been taken away in 1876, although probably no one in Congress was aware of the implication! Similarly, as the 1884 and 1885 trade dollars are now legal tender as are, it would seem, all pattern coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tradedollarnut.com/Home%20Page/Home%20first%20links/Later%20Events/Late%20events.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tradedollarnut.com/Home%20Page/Home%20first%20links/Later%20Events/Late%20events.htm" rel="nofollow">FOUND HERE</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting website... <a href="http://www.tradedollarnut.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tradedollarnut.com/" rel="nofollow">TRADEDOLLARNUT.COM</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
