The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

I dunno if you've seen a EURO note, it only has one signature, it does not say anywhere that it is LEGAL TENDER and it doesn't state that it must be returned to the bearer upon request...

Monopoly money more or less...

If you are in Canadian tire, that shit works just like cash.

LAWS are ratified by the HEAD OF STATE in Ireland, or THE PRESIDENT as people refer to him/her... So he/she would be grantor, the bank then is established and prints the national currency etc...

The gold standard began (unofficially) with the introduction of the Guinea in the 17th century..... The guinea under valued gold vs silver... when compared to the pound, which lead to english merchants buying things with silver,.. and selling things for gold... The result was that England was more or less on a gold standard pretty early. Shortages in gold and silver caused by them being the basis of currency, meant that at many times, tokens were used instead of silver coins..... and the issuing of bank notes. The gold standard was good, because it meant you could directly compare the value of currencies. It was bad, because it meant countries needed to keep a strategic reserve of gold to make sure they could "honour" their currency. During the depression, there simply wasn't enough gold to honour the gold standard, and a flat exchange of 1pound to 4 - 5 USD was set up.... In 1949 it was devalued, and all through the 60s, there was pressure that the pound was... "too high" vs the USD. In 1971 the pound floated against the USD which ended a lot of weird inter-currency issues......;) Officially the pound (and any first world currency) no longer has a fixed promissary value for a resource.

i bought this book last summer, published 1921, explains the purpose for Bills of Exchange were so you didnt have to sail your GOLD across the sea and risk having your BOAT(Scott loves that word) sink, and more convenient than lugging around your GOLD-bars(i suspect safer, too).. http://books.google.ca/books/about/Promissory_Notes_Bills_of_Exchange_Chequ.html?id=dijVMwEACAAJ&redir_esc=y

Maximus Legis: We have notes issued by several Banks already. Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank. The real question is would an independent Scotland control it's own money supply and the answer is, WOULD IT FUCK !! As the Chinese say "Meet The New Boss, Same as The Old Boss"
