I&#039;ve heard virtually the same story three times &amp; it&#039;s always turned out to be an urban myth. I&#039;m sure they get questioned &amp; even refused all the time though. Many here seem to be saying that an ASE fits in the same boat with these though. The $2, Ike, etc are Circulating Legal tender as far as I&#039;m aware the ASE is not right?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a couple of months ago there was an article in the news about a boy that passed 4 &quot;counterfeit&quot; pres dollars at the local Burger King. The coins were confiscated by the police and the boy avoided prosecution when his mother made restitution to the BK. As many people now know the boy removed the coins from a pres. proof set and were indeed legal tender.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the denominations on the silver and gold coins are there for only one reason. To sell more of them. There are coin collecting purists that wouldn&#039;t be caught dead with a silver round but faithfully buy the ASE&#039;s because its a &quot;coin&quot;. On the other hand I have never heard of someone refusing to buy bullion because it had a denomination on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my thoughts</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
