I have one from the Constitution mint.

A lot of people have a strongly vested interest in minimizing it. People knew about it when the order was enforced, but after its repeal people forgot, especially since it isn't even mentioned in schools.

I always think this particular round with Article 1 Sec. 10 on it is interesting because it was minted when we were off the Gold Standard, but it was still illegal to own Gold so they bought Silver, in the form of rounds like this one. I wonder what sorts of emotion the round and the text on it would elicit in its owner at the time, I'm sure it would've been more intense than what we have today because we had freshly switched to fiat at the time and you could still spend time in jail for owning Gold.
