Suitors are "They" in Title 12 USC 411

I never cease to be wooed, always in awe; but surprise that I have not arrived is withered. I get these moments though...

It has always agitated me a little that Congress used a pronoun instead of Federal Reserve notes in the sentence:


They shall be redeemed in lawful money...

So I have been writing in:


They [FRNs] shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand...


The pronoun leaves reason to doubt and it is sloppy and very uncharacteristic of Congress and attorey/legislators to put such an ambiguity into the US Code. Try this substitution on for size:

People who make their demand clear shall be redeemed in lawful money...


Now, where is it in the Code that redemption price shall be equivalent to 30 pieces of silver?
