In the first coinage act of 1792 unanimously enacted by congress, signed by Washington, endorsed by Adams and Jefferson, it was a capital felony for anyone to debase US currency. This law was never rescinded, only modified. Yet since 1913 that is exactly what the US central bank does by creating fiat money. If this law were enforced today, who in Congress or the Fed would still be alive? We are a country of Laws? Yes, ignored ones.
