Another incremental step - regulation of cash

[level.eleven]

I'm just saying that a state shouldn't be able to restrict the use of federal currency. The law looks illegally restrictive to me.

A district court recently upheld a similar law. It is targeted at metal thieves.

The Volokh Conspiracy » Louisiana Bans Secondhand Dealers from Paying Cash for Secondhand Goods

What Congress has sought to do, then, is establish and maintain a uniform national currency, an aim which is incompatible with a system in which individual states can issue their own currency, or declare things other than federally-issued money to constitute legal tender. The Ordinance at issue here does no such thing, however. It merely provides that payment for junk must be in the form of a check, which in turn is payable in United States currency. Accordingly, it is neither unconstitutional nor inconsistent with § 5103.

Maybe Louisiana figured out FRNs isn't real money.

That law won't stand. It says right there on the bills "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private"

Funny, I ordered transcripts from the Owen County Court and they REFUSED cash. Would only take a money order. I am sure they will do everything in their power to make this stand and society becomes just slightly more restrictive.
