Exchanging Notes For Currency Other Than Original Issue
Is it lawful to exchange notes having payments deferred for several years for foreign currency other than the one in which the original note was issued?
It is not lawful to exchange notes with deferred payments for the currency in which they were originally issued or for any other currency, as an exchange in the same currency will be like the sale of debt for debt that is deferred, when it is essential that the mutual exchange of equal counter values take place in the sale of currency for a similar currency.
