Law on Silver Dollars as Legal Tender In 1878 Act
The piece defends the Bland-Allison act and the legal tender status of standard silver dollars since 1878. It argues the 1878 law fixed silver dollar weight and legal tender power, unchanged by later measures, and that all silver dollars are legally usable for public and private debts unless a contract states otherwise. It cites Ohio State Journal confirming the act’s lasting legal tender status.
