    This guy also claims to have paid his friend 20K in silver for a house.

      20k face value maybe on rounds worth $40 each

      this isn’t as insane as it sounds. bullion coins are legal tender with a lower face value than their commodity value.

      so if that’s 20k face value it’s about average value for a house and they probably used the legal tender number for tax purposes.

      But when it comes to paying 3rd parties like in the OP you’re better off just selling the silver and using the common currency … so no $2 bills

          nope, people have been arrested or killed for trying to use 2 dollar bills before. it’s just best not to take that risk.
