Bill of Exchange 'Evidenced' as Currency by 31 USC 5118, 12 USC 412, UCC 3 601, 3 603, 3 311, and HJR 192 of 1933 (public law 73 10)

Bill of Exchange ‘Evidenced’ as “Currency” by 31 USC 5118, 12 USC 412, UCC 3-601, 3-603, 3-311, and HJR 192 of 1933 (public law 73-10)

Bills of Exchange as Currency

A bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument where one party orders another to pay a specific amount of money to a third party. Think of it as a formal IOU that functions in commerce as money because it represents value and discharges obligations.

Legal Foundations Proving It Is Currency

  1. House Joint Resolution 192 (HJR 192) (1933)
    The U.S. government eliminated the use of gold as money and replaced it with debt instruments, stating:

    “Every provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation which purports to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in an amount in money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy.”

    This means all debts must now be discharged with paper money or debt instruments such as bills of exchange, promissory notes, or other negotiable instruments.

  2. 31 USC 5118:
    Confirms that gold clauses in contracts are void, and all payments must be made using Federal Reserve Notes or debt instruments.
  3. 12 USC 412:
    States that Federal Reserve Notes are backed by debt instruments, including promissory notes and bills of exchange, legally making them currency.

UCC Provisions That Prove Bills of Exchange Act as Payment

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) supports the idea that bills of exchange discharge debt obligations—just like cash:

  • UCC 3-603 (Tender of Payment):

    “(b) If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is made and refused, there is discharge, to the extent of the amount of the tender.”

    Meaning: If you present a bill of exchange as payment and the other party refuses it, the debt is discharged as if it were paid in full.

  • UCC 3-311 (Accord and Satisfaction):

    “If a person against whom a claim is asserted proves that (i) that person in good faith tendered an instrument to the claimant as full satisfaction of the claim, and (ii) the claimant obtained payment of the instrument…the claim is discharged.”

    Meaning: Offering a bill of exchange in good faith to settle a debt discharges the debt, regardless of whether it was accepted.

  • UCC 3-601 (Discharge of Obligation):

    “The obligation of a party to pay the instrument is discharged as stated in this Article or by an act or agreement with the party which would discharge an obligation to pay money under a simple contract.”

    Meaning: Providing a bill of exchange or other negotiable instrument fulfills the legal obligation to pay.

Unequivocal Conclusion

A bill of exchange is currency because:

  • It satisfies debt obligations in commerce.
  • Federal statutes (31 USC 5118, 12 USC 412) equate debt instruments with currency.
  • HJR 192 confirms that gold-backed payments were eliminated and replaced with debt-based instruments.
  • UCC Articles 3-603, 3-311, and 3-601 explicitly state that offering a bill of exchange discharges debt, even if refused.

 

Based on proper interpretation and in accordance with statues, public policy, and codes, refusal of a bill of exchange legally equals payment in full, cementing it as a valid form of currency.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR WRIT MANDAMUS VANISHES: Ninth Circuit Fraud, Tampering, Judicial Collusion, and a Federal Cover-Up Seems Unequivocal

Federal courts are now under scrutiny after a verified Writ of Mandamus vanished from the Ninth Circuit docket without explanation—raising grave concerns of judicial tampering, fraud, and systemic misconduct. Judge Sunshine Sykes defied clear jurisdictional divestiture by issuing rulings on a matter under appellate review, violating 28 U.S.C. § 144 and § 1651. This article exposes a disturbing pattern of ultra vires acts, denial of due process, and potential RICO violations implicating both district and appellate judges.Ask ChatGPT

When the Debt Is Discharged but the LIEN Remains: Why Auto and Home Loan Lenders Who Ignore Lawful Tender Are Committing Fraud and Commercial Crimes

This article delivers a devastating legal breakdown proving that lawful tender—once made and unrebutted—discharges auto loan debt under UCC §§ 3-601, 3-603, 3-310, 2-206, and 1-103, as codified in Cal. Com. Code §§ 3601, 3603, 3310, 2206, 1103, Fla. Stat. §§ 673.6011, 673.6031, 673.3101, 672.206, 671.103, and N.C.G.S. §§ 25-3-601, 25-3-603, 25-3-310, 25-2-206, 25-1-103. It exposes refusal to release a lien after lawful discharge as actionable fraud, conversion, embezzlement, and obstruction under state and federal law. With verified case law and commercial principles, it explains how silence equals acceptance and how creditors become commercially estopped. A must-read for secured parties, fiduciaries, and equity claimants demanding lien removal, declaratory relief, and commercial remedy.

How a Perfected Security Agreement and UCC Filings Strip Servicers of Foreclosure Rights

A properly executed Security Agreement assigning all assets, rights, and interests to a private trust—paired with a UCC-1 financing statement and UCC-3 amendment claiming the Deed of Trust and Note—lawfully establishes the trust as the secured party and real party in interest. This perfected interest, under UCC §§ 9-203, 9-509, 3-301, and supported by controlling case law (e.g., Carpenter v. Longan, Ibanez, Veal), strips any servicer or third-party of standing to foreclose unless they possess the original Note, prove an unbroken chain of title, and rebut the trust’s perfected claim. Without that, all foreclosure attempts become void ab initio, commercial dishonor, and legal trespass on private trust property.
