Something else that's mildly interesting: Riad's fakes were a type of security that was never sold to individual.

The real disconnect is two fold:

Even though one had Fed bank-bank transitions involving gold "certificates", there was never a gold "certificate bond" ever issued for any purpose.

And while a Gold Certificate could legally claim it was "Legal Tender", Congress never authorized a "Gold Certificate Bond" to be "Legal Tender".

The end result is a Riad bond claiming to be a Gold Certificate Bond which is Legal Tender. The worst of all worlds. I really wanted to see those words "Legal Tender" on the picture displayed on his site. Alas, it appears that picture was created by displaying one of the bonds on a light box, using a mirrored reflection. Thus, right where the words "Legal Tender" should appear is inverted to the opposite side of the bond in blurred tiny print. No fair, no fun! LOL

And yes please let the Riad bonds pop up again, preferably in another stock with an attached IHUB pump gang.
