> No State shall MAKE anything but Gold and Silver coin a tender in payment of debt <

I’m not a constitutional scholar. But it seems to me that sentence means a state cannot force a person to accept, say, cows as payment for a debt.

So let’s say you owe me $1000. You must pay me in gold or silver. You cannot drive 10 cows to my property and say now we’re even (unless I agree, of course).

I would immediately accept your CowBucks.

I take that position also, but who is to say “MAKE” doesn’t mean manufacture and distribute???
