Let's bring back pieces of 8 :-)
Let's bring back real currency. (i.e. gold & silver coin as
specified in the U.S. Constitution.)
Let's not use this mailing list as a forum for political lies. The
US Constitution does not and never did make any such specification,
as can be readily ascertained merely by taking the time to read
it.
Article I, Section 10: "No State shall ... make any Thing but gold
and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;..."
And all that says is that no State may lawfully substitute anything
else. It does not expressly forbid the Federal government from using
paper currency or anything else. If you read the entire Article 1
section 10 it deals exclusively with what the states may not do. Try
researching your "facts" before you try to pass them off as
constitutional gospel.
