repeated again and again if Con
gress and the White House se
riously consider the commis
sion’s recommendation.
The coin would be exempt
from capital gains and sales
taxes, in some ways would bear a
legal resemblance to a postage
stamp and in others to a govern
ment security. It could be used
to settle some debts, but would
fall far short of being money as
the term describes paper bills
and coins. The commission spe
cified the coin would not be legal
