Some businesses have tried paying employees in gold coins. IRS did not take “but we only paid them $50/week!” well.

I would like to get paid in coins - dimes, quarters and half dollars will be fine.

As long as they are pre-1965.

It is legal tender, coined for everyday use so how could anyone complain?

Robert Kahre was convicted in 2009 of conspiracy to defraud the IRS, after paying employees of his construction companies in Las Vegas with gold coins and reporting their legal tender value ($50 per ounce) as the rate paid, for employment taxes.
