Did this in my town. A “road diet” for 4 lane road with no median or turn lane to 2 lane road with median.

Children Play Here Slow. Their parents should allow them to run at full speed.

It’s not that the diverting PNW rivers would deprive Portland of water, since there’s a huge surplus up there. It’s that, historically speaking, Reclamation/Corps projects have huge costs not accurately borne by users (i.e. a big windfall for agricultural users).

Thanks. Yeah, I couldn’t get back to the original statute. The literal text adds “or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States” after “to circulate as money.” That seems to encompass a check for 30 cents at the grocery store instead of cash.

The law itself was from a USC codification act in 1948 and so I can’t see when it was originally enacted. But I’m guessing it’s from when banks issued their own notes and wildcat state banks may have issued tiny notes hoping people wouldn’t redeem them.
