So will the Federal goons go beat up on Canada because they dare to call their money ‘dollars’? I don’t recall the Treasury having a trademark on the word ‘dollar’.
If a govt puts “dollar” on their money (Canada, Aussie etc) then the fedgov doesn’t mind.
But don’t let a private American citizen try it! That seems to be the lesson here.
I’m not excusing it or trying to make sense of it. It’s absurd. But it seems to be the fedgov’s operating reality, so it’s wise to account for it.
Seems pretty dumb to go to jail for not doing due-diligence, and finding out what many of us have known forever, that the fedgov freaks out when an American mints a coin with DOLLAR on it.
