Reginald Howe, of http://www.goldensextant.com/, and James Turk, Director of the GoldMoney Foundation, talk about the constitutional authority for legal tender. The states are limited to making gold and silver legal tender and the federal government can only coin money and define weights and measures. They talk about the Mexican silver dollar, or pieces of eight, which circulated in the US at the time of the Constitution.

They also talk about Andrew Jackson’s fight to abolish the Second Bank of the United States, the central bank of the time.
