<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 439607, member: 12965"]What's interesting is that section (18 USC Section 489) deals with counterfeiting denominations that are currently legal tender and has nothing to do with the Hobby Protection Act. However, what I find interesting is, as far as I know and with the exception of gold coins, all silver coins are still legal tender. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Which means I can pay for a cup of coffee with a Morgan and a few Barber quarters. However, I'm not sure about this so I'd like to hear from others on whether or not this is the case or did congress strip silver coins of their face value? Because if they didn't, 18 USC Section 489 clearly applies to what we've been talking about!</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
