Might not be a thing in the land of hipster-ish coffee shops.
- jk563 8y ago> Legal tender has a very narrow and technical meaning, which relates to settling debts. It means that if you are in debt to someone then you can’t be sued for non-payment if you offer full payment of your debts in legal tender.

- kaybe 8y agoSo what differentiates an unpaid bill from a debt?
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoI don't know the laws, but I know they don't have to accept it. It falls in the same lines as places not accepting payment in pennies or car dealerships refusing to sell a car to anyone paying the balance upfront. Weirdly, this doesn't seem like much of an issue when buying a house.
- Nursie 8y agoIt's not a thing anywhere, there is no compulsion in law associated with the "legal tender" status, that seems to be an internet myth. Nobody has to accept a jar of pennies, or a house purchase in singles, or even cash at all.
