WHAT IS LEGAL TENDER

Officially, there are just 10 kinds of
money in circulation in the United
States. Do you know which Of those
are legal tender and in what amount?
1t may be that call money looks alike
to you," but there's a difference, and
below is the list:
Gold coins. standard silver dollars,
subsidiary silver, gold certificates, sill
yer certificates. Treasury notes GS90),
United States notes (greenbacks), ma
tional bank notes, nickel coins and
bronze coins.
Looking upon the formidable classi-
faction OF United States money as
made by the Treasury Department, It
becomes more formidable when Il is
considered from the highly technical
/ point of view as a legal tender. Some
Of the most imposing of this paper
currency is not legal tender at all,
while as to the minor coins they are
legal tender in such small amounts as
to startie the average layman. II may
be we'll to recall TO this layman that
the term legal tender owes it's signi-
hcance to the fact that I'm payment
1 Of debt or obligation OF any kind II
/ can be forced upon the creditor "in full
/ Of all demands"
Gold certificates. silver certificates
and national bank notes, Of which
/ such enormous numbers circulate
/ everywhere, are not legal tender. II

/ have forced Jones to sue you in order
/ to get judgment Jones can turn down
every one Of these bills rendered in
payment and force you 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
upoa him. But you want to know
what you're doing there. too, for he'll
tako only SO worth Of halves. quart
ers and dimes, while as to nickels and

the metal dollar they go unquestioned
az their face value. And 1000 of them
weigh 5s.a2 pounds.
Treasury notes of the act Of 1890 are
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 United States
notes Or greenhaclSs are legal tender,
with the exception Of duties on i'm
ports and interest on public debt.
Practically, however. since the re-
sumption OF specie rayment in 1879
