The law stipulates that you must demand lawful money.
"They [FRNs] shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand..."
The bank cannot open a separate accounting for US notes in the form of FRNs because that will crash the gold windows between the US and the UN's IMF Trust Fund. Note the price of gold is still earmarked at $42.22/ounce.
http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/bulletin/0508assets.htmCongress is fudging the books - because FRNs are not the US dollars they are generally considered to be. Therefore the banking policy as stated by Congress is to accept US notes for face value in FRNs when you can see by the assets report that they are approximately 20 to 1 value in gold ($42.22/ounce to Spot).
So the matter of doing it correctly is a moot point. If you are demanding lawful money instead of private credit you are doing it.
