WOW, i couldn't believe it until I read the article, and the subsequent snippet of the law
A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property and made payable to the name and address of the seller.
This is not legal, the surpeme court would squash this in a minute, it clear states on our money "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." which the article also states..
just simply crazy!!!!
edit: by the way, "shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers," makes it legal to use bitcoin!!!
2nd edit: The title should be
lOUISIANA LEGALIZES BITCOINS
