The new cent is not a legal tender for any

cent oi former issues legal tender for any
sum.
They are "lawful coins" and authorized to
pass current as money" but they are not
expressly made legal tender in payment of
debts.
The Constitution of the United States pro-
hibits the States from making anything but
gold and silver legal tender in payment of

The prohibition to the State does not an.
ply expressly to Congress, but the principle
perhaps does. At all events Congress has
