    What do you mean “not really though”? It’s either legal tender, or it isn’t, and based on numerous comments here, it would seem as though it is legal tender. You would probably be a fool if you used it at face value, since it’s going to always be worth more than that, but nothing is stopping you from doing so if you desire.
