    Checks, bills of exchange, promissory notes, traveler's checks, bearer bonds, money orders or postal orders are all negotiable instruments.

    Doesn't matter, bearer bonds are not legal tender.

    Acceptable to settle debts as a matter of law. I.e. can be tendered to settle debt, as a matter of law.

    I'll bet they'd accept chicken tenders.

    sure, but that's what 'legal tender' means - they're legally obliged to accept it. it doesn't mean it's the only thing they can accept.

    Anything can be tendered to settle a debt. It's the acceptability as a matter of law that makes something legal tender.

    What does the law have to do with it? You don't need a law to accept a medium of exchange

    You don't need the law to accept something, the law is there to ensure you don't not-accept it.

    Grain rots fast. Shares in farms are better. Actually farms can fail. Shares in other aspects of the economy. In fact why not the whole economy? Congratulations you just invented fiat currency.

    I thought fiat was "backed by gold" so even after 1000 years when the money dissolves they can just print a trillions more and boot things back up like nothing happened as long as robots maintain fort knocks
