WHAT is LEGAL TENDER l-In answer to
the question of a subscriber" What consti-
tutes legal tender p we present the follow
ing, on the authority of the New York Cour-
Ter and Enquirer:
In the United States, the gold and silver
coins of the United States were made legal
tender by the act of January IS, fS37-viz
That dollars, half dollars, quarter dollars,
dimes, and half dimes, shall be legal tender
according to their nominal value, for any
sums whatever; the gold eagle at ten dollars,
the half eagle at five dollars, and the quarter
eagle for two and half dollars. By the act
OF lS49, the coinage of the double eagle,
value of twenty dollars, and of the gold dol
lar, was authorized; both of which are legal
tender for any amount. (See Coinage.1
Owing to the alloy in the new silver coins.
authorized by Congress Sd March, 1861, and
2lst February, 1868, they are no longer legal
tender except in small sums, viz
Three Cent Pieces (Act Sd March, 1851 and Sd March,
aat Dollars, us2 grains EACH, aist Feb, iS5il w.
R Haf Dise, 1920 " 6
By the act Of February, 1857, call former
acts authorizing the currency of foreign gold
or silver coins, and declaring the same a legal
tender in payment of debts, are hereby re-
peaed."
In the absence of any special agreement,
the only payment known to the law is by
cash. The tender should, properly, be in
cash, and must be SO if that is required A
tender of larger cum than is due with a re.
quirement Of change or Of the balance, is
not good. A lawful tender, payment of the
money into court is good defence to an
action for the debt, But the creditor NAV
break down this defence by proving that he
demanded the money OF the debtor, and the
debtor refused to give it subsequently to the
tender.
