<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 140224, member: 1748&quot;]I&#039;m reading through <i>Collectible American Coins</i> by Kenneth Bressett.&nbsp; In the chapter on 2-, 3-, and 20-cent coins, he writes that some coins had a legal tender limit set by Act of Congress. For instance, the 2-cent coins had a legal tender limit of 20 cents from 1865 to 1873.</p><p><br /></p><p>What does this mean? Does this mean that no more than 10 2-cent coins (20 cents) could be used to pay someone? If so, was this a means to prompt them to circulate more widely, and how could it be enforced? It just seems sort of odd.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
