Legally no one has to accept cash except for "debts, public and private". If a business is selling you something, they can stipulate any form of payment since it isn't a "debt".

- brewdad 3y agoI'm sure you could but it would involve setting up an in-person appointment at a specific location of their choosing. Also, expect to fill out a bunch of extra paperwork to show where the cash came from.

- _v7gu 3y agoWhat is a sales contract but the admittance of debts on both sides? The seller owes the buyer the good, and the buyer owes the seller the money. Everything is debt in contracts-land and it is quite fascinating. If you'd like, I can stipulate on how "no cash accepted" signs work even though you can force people to accept cash to settle debts.
