In the olden days the $1.00 notes said...Pay to the bearer, ON DEMAND, one dollar in Gold or Silver.

Interesting that in the Civil War, Salmon P. Chase issued “greenbacks” in the form of notes and declared them legal tender.
When Salmon P. Chase became Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, he declared ONLY gold and silver to be legal tender.
