Just a thought here
What if a well to do individual wanted to drop about $25,000 to the campaign but the limit is $2300. Would it be legal for them to give the campaign $2300 in pre-1965 silver coins being as they're still legal tender at face value but are actually worth about 12x face now with silver almost at $16 an ounce
I think someone should try it then when all the other campaigns start complaining and controversy ensues Dr. Paul gets the perfect opportunity to talk about the Federal Reserve, devaluation of the US Dollar, and how our currency was actually worth a lot more when it was backed by something.
