<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 507944, member: 4626&quot;]Well if they refuse to take a half dollar, Sacagawea dollar, president dollar, etc. because they don&#039;t recognize it as a legitmate coin, or they just don&#039;t want to take it... does that disqualify them as being legitimate coins?&nbsp; They fact is, those coins are legal tender, and it is legal to use them as circulating coins.&nbsp; Whehter or not people actually use the coins and whether or not people actually accept them is neither here nor there... the fact is, if it&#039;s legal tender for its face value, and you can use it to pay for things, it&#039;s a coin, period.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to all applicable laws regarding what is and is not a legal tender coin, I could legally take an ASE and exchange it for $1 worth of goods and services.&nbsp; That is fact, not opinion.&nbsp; (Nothing says the person I try to pay has to accept it, but they&#039;d be a fool not to, since it&#039;s intrinsically more valuable than $1, even ignoring numismatic value!).&nbsp; If you want to play semantics about whether or not that makes it a &quot;coin,&quot; feel free, but that it&#039;s legal tender is unarguable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
