and what does those comments have to with whether notes issued prior to the greeenback were legal tender? Do you know what year the First Bank of the US was shut down? Do you know what a "Demand note" is or are you ignorant of basic financial terms? How about do you know what a treasure note is? Is a treasury note legal tender? Do you know when Federal Reserve notes first became legal tender? or are you ignorant of that as well? Frankly if you don't know any of the above you should get lost until you do. You may not be aware of it but your ignorance on this subject is HUGE!71.174.142.108
