Better yet, is there a Marxist pesthole country whose currency is 1)called "dollars" and 2)worth about $1.98 in real money for $5000 of theirs?
Right -- there's nothing in the demand that requires U.S. currency. Further, there's nothing in the demand that requires the $5000 to be in a currency that is at this time legal tender. So.... maybe Confederate currency?
Rall shouldn't be so careless in his wording when talking to a lawyer. Shoulda remembered his buddy, Bill "the meaning of 'is'" Clinton.
