Unretired New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 10:11 am Just to add my Two Cents to the ongoing "is the $20 coin legal tender" debate: Legal tender? Yes. Money? No. Money is really just what is recognizable and in circulation (or electronic). Pennies? Not money, unless you sneak one through on a US vacation. For that matter, gold/silver is not money, and I would argue nickel dollars aren't really money either. Try to pay the average pizza guy with only nickel dollars; they won't be happy. Old currency? Probably not money either. Would the average cashier be willing to accept a battered 1954 $50 bill? Arguably, even recent issue $100 bills are borderline money nowadays. There are plenty of places that won't accept those. Report this Post to the Staff

Unretired New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 10:32 am Nope. I recently received one of those from a cashier as a quarter. We see so few of those in circulation that anyone trying to pass them would need to point out they are actually worth 50 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Unretired New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 11:03 am I regard them as just mint products at this point. BTW, thanks for your welcome upthread. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 3:33 pm As a coin collector I just think any-4-any is a great concept. It would certainly help if these coins were "real money". All the RCM needs to do is increase mintage to 200,000,000 - or however many bills they print in a single year... I don't know. Would be cool. Report this Post to the Staff
