They seriously believe that the dictionary definition of money is "pellets and sawdust may be money but Federal reserve notes cannot"?

Even aside from the absurdity of it, it refers to itself in the definition. It's a bit like saying the definition of 'milk' is "cow milk is milk, but pineapple juice isn't milk."

The 6th edition of Black’s Law was published in 1990 by the way.

As we all know, it was a time where trading beaver pelts and sawdust was common practice in the U.S.

Beaver pellets.

I can't confirm this, but I suspect this man expects to be paid in beaver shit.

It at least is real and offers some value (biodegradable nutrients for soil).
