<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 512650, member: 3011&quot;]This is from the US Treasury web site.&nbsp; Going through the history of US money, this is the first reference to &quot;legal tender.&quot;&nbsp; Before that there were variousl issues of coins and paper money, but none of it seems to carry the legal designation as &quot;legal tender&quot; for the United States of America.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;April 2, 1792 - An Act of Congress established the first United States Mint facility in Philadelphia and established the U.S. legal tender system, ordering the creation of gold, silver and copper coinage ranging in value from $10 to half of a penny. It also ordered the eagle design on United States coins.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it depends on what the meaning of &quot;legal tender&quot; is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
