It's completely true. If I finish my meal and don't have a credit card, the restaurant will be annoyed. I offer them cash, and they refuse the payment. I therefore leave without paying. The restaurant takes me to court for non-payment and I agree to pay. I pay in cash. From the link in your sibling comment:
"This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor"
- coldpie 10y agoBeing a legal offer of payment is different from being mandated to accept that payment. You may be right, but I would find it surprising.
- NLips 10y agoThe normal interpretation is that the party you're paying doesn't have to accept, but has no legal standing to say "You owe me and didn't pay".
