Is it a crime?

If you give me a $100 Gold coin that’s legal tender, the gold in the coin may have a value far and above $100... but as far as legal tender its worth $100. Is the Federal Government going to argue that is own legal tender is not legal tender?

I mean the rule of law means nothing anymore anyway, but still... think about it a bit.

If I paid taxes with a gold coin with a face value of $100.00, I bet they would take it as $100.00.

The attorney here should find out if the IRS has accepted these coins at face value for payment.
