I’m not a lawyer but I decided to check the reference to the Constitution in the What are Tokens article. The preceding two sentences in the article say ” In the United States, tokens cannot have any indication nor appear to be issued by the United States. This may include not using the words “United States” and indicating a denomination.” The reference to Clause 1 is all about what states may or may not do. It is silent about individuals and private entities.

Clause 1 says “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder; ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.” There is no specific reference to not using the words United States or indicating a denomination. Over time and through various court cases I’m sure something like what the article said probably has evolved (haven’t most of us seen tokens with denominations on them?) but it is clearly the author’s opinion of the current situation. To reference the Constitution is misleading.

A very shallow and essentially worthless article!
