<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2937088, member: 66&quot;]You will note though that the act of 1806 only made them legal tender for a period of three years.&nbsp; There were several different acts over the years that extended the legal tender provisions but there were also periods where they were allowed to expire and foreign coins were not legal tender until new acts were passed.&nbsp; Also at times the coins specific coins made legal tender were changed.&nbsp; You will also notice that although the act of 1806 says that gold and silver foreign coins will pass as legal tender it also lists only specific coins and the rates at which they will pass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
