My favourite part about stories like these is that, we're this to happen in Canada, s. 8(2)(e) of the Currency Act means that, legally, she'd only have to accept 25¢ and the remaining 79,975 were not legally tendered.

This whole thing sucks, especially since they had so many chances to get it right -- they could have put down your name, or *any* of your handles, and didn't do any of that smh

...actually make money like this, because the value of the silver will fluctuate, necessitating re-casting the coins to reflect their updated value.

I'm now imagining this guy getting crushed by a truckload of silver coins being dumped on him all at once. 2/2

If memory serves, "specie" refers to coin whose value is derived from the metal it's made of rather than a central bank or government backing it. $1 in silver specie would have to be a coin made of $1-worth of silver. Unless your currency is on the silver standard, it's kind of impossible to 1/2
