Is this legal?
I ask because usually they have to accept them by law but can refuse change or something like that.
- aninhumer 10y agoI don't think that anywhere requires particular denominations to be accepted by law. If you're referring to "legal tender" laws, or similar, that's to do with settlement of debts.
- 77pt77 10y agoSeveral countries in Europe undoubtedly require businesses to accept all denominations of euros with the qualification of denying change (for obvious reasons, try paying 10EUR with a 500EUR bill). Some places limit the number of coins you can use (there were people paying fines with hundreds of coins).
