Please enlighten me then, to my understanding the full phrase is "legal tender for all debts public and private" and the meaning is that if you owe a debt then an offer to pay it with legal tender must be accepted or the debt is void while any other form of payment may be refused without voiding the debt. Now possibly taxes might in some way not be a debt, but they look like one to me. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
