I was curious enough to actually go find the 6th edition on open library. The actual definition:

Money. In usual and ordinary acceptation it means coins and paper currency used as a circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate. Lane v Railey, 280 KY. 319, 133 S.W.2d 74, 79, 81.

A medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a domestic or foreign government as part of its currency. U.C.C. S 1-201(24).

Neither "sawdust" nor "beaver pellets" appear anywhere in the 1700-page book. Googling that phrase turns up only this very thread.

That almost seems to refute what other SovCits try to do by paying with "coupons", invoice slips, tax forms, or whatever their specific nonsense du jour is.

Did you search in the basketball edition?

Don't forget to hold the dictionary at a 45 degree angle. That's the secret to reading the code.

I'm shocked I tell you, that a sovcit is making stuff up.

To be honest I really expected more of a deliberate/motivated misreading of something that at least exists somewhere
