in a gold standard the debt is payed with lawful money in a fiat system the debt is payed(discharged) with legal tender, a legal fiction
the state inc. doesn't have jurisdiction over lawful money, only over that wich it creates

Ok, so even though gold was legally recognized as money, because it had been used as lawful money, it doesn't become legal tender.
Is that the distinction you're getting at?

they had to make the "institution of legal tender" for to remove lawful money from the system this at least what I learned, if I'm wrong, I will happily adjust
