"No <b>STATE</b> shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts" Section 10 doesn't apply because there are no STATES that are issuing currency. The same restriction does not apply to the feds. natedog, how can you actually type that out and not see the problem?
“No STATE shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts”
Section 10 doesn’t apply because there are no STATES that are issuing currency. The same restriction does not apply to the feds.

BUT NOW IF YOU TAKE YOUR PAPER MONEY INTO A BANK ALL YOU GET IS SURPRISE BUTTSECKS /cruise control @ Reboot; please refrain from being an idiot. also, re-read Section 10. that clause reads:

Section 10 – Powers prohibited of States

“No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts”

that is why you USED to be able to take your shitty PAPER money into a bank and they had to give you GOLD OR SILVER coins for your inherently worthless paper. the paper notes simply stood in for the gold pieces.

BUT NOW IF YOU TAKE YOUR PAPER MONEY INTO A BANK ALL YOU GET IS SURPRISE BUTTSECKS
