Trade dollar - definition of Trade dollar by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia
a silver coin formerly made at the United States mint, intended for export, and not legal tender at home. It contained 378 grains of silver and 42 grains of alloy.
The trade dollar was a United States dollar coin minted to compete with other large silver coins that were already popular in East Asia. The idea first came about in the 1860s, when the price of silver began to decline due to increased mining efforts in the western United States. A bill providing in part for the issuance of the trade dollar was eventually put before Congress, where it was approved and later signed into law as the Coinage Act of 1873. The act made trade dollars legal tender up to five dollars. A number of designs were considered for the trade dollar, and an obverse and reverse created by William Barber were selected.
the numismatic and bullion value of any trade dollar far exceeds its face value of one dollar.[10]
Many Trade dollars have what are called "chop marks" on them. Chinese merchants would stamp the coins, thus guaranteeing weight and fineness and, also, advertising their businesses.[3]
Collectors are warned that recently a large number of U.S. Trade dollars have been forged in China made with base metal. Careful testing or purchasing from known dealers or buying sealed and certified coins may be necessary to avoid these fakes.[4]
Trade dollars did not circulate in the United States initially, but were legal tender for up to $5.
Things changed, however, in 1876, when the price of silver spiraled downward as western producers dumped silver on the market, making the trade dollar worth more at face value than its silver content. That resulted in trade dollars pouring back into the United States, as they were bought for as little as the equivalent of 80 US cents in Asia, and were then spent at $1 in the United States. This prompted Congress to revoke their legal tender status, and restrict their coinage to exportation demand only. However, this didn't stop unscrupulous persons from buying trade dollars at bullion value, and using them for payment as $1 to unsuspecting workers and merchants.
Production of the trade dollar was officially halted for business strikes in 1878, and thereafter from 1879–1885, produced only as proof examples of the coin. The issues of 1884 and 1885 were produced surreptitiously, and were unknown to the collecting public until 1908.
March 1851 Congress authorized the coinage of a debased three-cent piece of silver, sometimes called the trime, whose intrinsic value was low enough that it would not be bought up to be melted by bullion dealers.
On November 1, 1873, Secretary of the Treasury Richardson directed the Sub-Treasury to pay out the long accumulated subsidiary silver coins to the government creditors in amounts of not more than $5 to any one person. However, it was soon learned that these instructions were premature and were revoked. Apparently, all records concerning how many coins were paid out were suppressed or destroyed; thus, there is no way of knowing the amounts involved.
In 1949, the United States desired to send silver trade coins to Chiang Kai-Shek and the Republic of China. [sic] Thus, in 1949 the San Francisco Mint produced 2,000,000 silver "trade dollars."
The Trade Dollar Remonetized (1965)
A little known fact is that the Coinage Act of July 23, 1965, which provided for the production of clad coins, contained this wording (Section 102; italics ours): "All coins and currencies of the United States (including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations), regardless of when coined or issued, shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private, public charges, taxes, duties, and dues."
Under this act, it seems that trade dollars were given the legal tender status that had been taken away in 1876, although probably no one in Congress was aware of the implication! Similarly, as the 1884 and 1885 trade dollars are now legal tender as are, it would seem, all pattern coins.

Comment at the YouTube site [in the opening post]: Has any one heard of the group of lawyers calling themselves the People's Trust 1776. I have written their name as it would be cool for more people to read what they claim. They reckon they have handed the Rothschilds a UCC filing foreclosing their banking system which is based on enslavement and fraud. I hope it is true, but I am not a legal person. OPPT-IN is another website. See what you think.
Not sure but the People's Trust 1776 seems to be associated with the Project to Restore America/Restore America Project and OPPT-IN (One People's Public Trust) seems to be an affiliated project, possibly of international scope. Both cite UCC/Uniform Commercial Code data.
