I've seen in this forum where old coins are considered artifacts and subject to laws concerning their removal. Now, would this apply to American coins ? They are, after all, still legal tender no matter how old they are, they were simply discontinued, not canceled, get my drift? Now you wouldn't go to Walmart and blow a double eagle on a cheap pair of sneaks and some M&Ms, but if you wanted to, they'd have to accept it. If I get Indian head pennies and Mercury dimes in change, was I cheated ? Not by any laws I ever heard of.
