There Are Ten Kinss on Uncle
Sams Official List
ALL ARE NOT LEGAL TENDER
Seme o the Moct Imposing of the Pa
per Curroncy May C2 Lawfully R
fusid When Ciforcd In Payment o
an Obligation of Any Kind
OiHVinlly there ire Just ten kinds o
money in c rculuiin in 1 la Lniteo
Slides Could yiut mime them nil off
IiaiidV Do you know whirli of those
beside gold eoin are legal tender and
in wiiat aimniiuV It may be that all
money looks alike to you but theres
i diilerem e and below is the list
Cold eoins standard silver dollars
mi livid in ry silver gold eerlilic tles sil
ver eeriilieates treasury notes lbJKh
United Slates notes greeiihaeksi na
tlonal bank notes nickel coins and
bronze eoins
Looking upon this formic hie classi
licatioti of United States money a
made by the treasury department it
becomes more formidable when it is
considered from the highly teehnieai
point of view as a legal tender Some
of the most imposing of the paper cur
rency is not a legal tender at all while
us to the minor coins they are legal
tender in such small amounts as to
startle the average layman It may be
well to recall to this layman thai the
term legal tender owes its signili
cance to the fact that in payment of
debt or obligation of any kind it can
he forced upon the creditor in full ol
all demands
Gold certificates silver certificates
and national bank notes of which
such enormous numbers circulate
everywhere are not legal tender If
you have plenty of money and if you
have forced Jones to sue you In order
to get judgment Jones can turn down
every one of these bills tendered in
payment and force yon to dig up some
thing better
Should Jones do such a thing you
might conceive the idea of fixing him
by unloading a whole lot of silver coins
upon him But you want to know
what youre doing there too for Hell
take only 10 worth of halves quarters
and dimes while of uickels and cop
per cents only 23 cents value is legal
tender
But as to the standard silver dollar
theres no limit upon your shoveling
them out to Jones This old dollar
of our dads still is the real thing in
all business transactions unless some
clause in a contract has provided oth
erwise Jones may refuse the silver
certificate but when you dig up the
metal dollar they go unquestioned at
their face value And 1000 of them
weigh HSJi pounds
Treasury notes of the act of lSDOare
legal tender to their face value in pay
ment of all debts public and private
unless expressly stipulated in the con
tract
Strictly speaking the Dnited States
uotes or greenbacks are legal tender
with the exception of duties on im
ports and interest on the public debt
Practically however since the resump
tion of specie payment in 1871 green
hacks have been received freely and
without question by the government
though the law respecting them hasnt
been changed
While the gold and silver certificates
are not legal tender as between indi
viduals both issues are receivable for
all government dues of whatever kind
in this respect legally more acceptable
than is the greenback
National bank notes while not legal
tender and not receivable for duties on
imports still may be paid by the gov
ernment for salaries and all debts of
the government except interest dues
and in redemption of national currency
Py especial enactment no foreign
coin of any kind or denomination shall
be a legal tender in the Dnited States
