The 'greenback' ended in 1971. A Greenback is considered a United States Note. What we have here are Federal Reserve Notes.

Yeah I stand corrected. I'm so accustomed to hearing this term 'greenback' on mainstream radio. Imagine that the greenback ended before I was born and yet this term is misused and common place. That said do not overlook the significance of the posted article. I love how words like DEEMED jump off the page!

It is still codified in the United States Code though... 31 USC 5115. They were simply replaced by the Federal Reserve Note. This is what I go on about when I talk about lawful money of the United States. Your governments even conduct business using this language!

born in the U.S. wouldnt be a Canadian... unless i am missing somthing...
