3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
CURRENCY. The money which passes, at a fixed value, from hand to hand; money
which is authorized by law.
2. By art. 1, s. 8, the Constitution of the United States authorizes
congress "to coin money, and to regulate the value thereof." Changes in the
currency ought not to be made but for the most urgent reason, as they
unsettle commerce, both at home and abroad. Suppose Peter contracts to pay
Paul one thousand dollars in six months-the dollar of a certain fineness
of silver, weighing one hundred and twelve and a half grains-and
afterwards, before the money becomes due, the value of the dollar is
changed, and it weighs now but fifty-six and a quarter grains; will one
thousand of the new dollars pay the old debt? Different opinion may be
entertained, but it seems that such payment would be complete; because, 1.
The creditor is bound to receive the public currency; and, 2. He is bound to
receive it at its legal value. 6 Duverg. n. 174.
