The then minority admitted that in the powers regarding coinage, standing alone, there shouldn't be 'a ample warrant for the exercise of the facility' to make notes a authorized tender, but thought them 'not with out determined weight, when we come to consider the question of the existence of this energy as one vital and correct for carrying into execution other admitted powers of the government.' This weight they present in the fact that an 'specific energy over the lawful cash of the country was confided to Congress and forbidden to the States.' It seemed to them not an 'unreasonable inference' that, in a sure contingency, 'making the securities of the government perform the workplace of cash in the cost of debts could be in harmony with the power expressly granted to coin cash.' We understand no connection between the express power to coin money and the inference that the government may, in any contingency, make its securities carry out the capabilities of coined money, as a authorized tender in fee of debts.
