US Treasury answer:

"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. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy."

Sorry Kevin and NogginBoink, the US Treasury disagrees with you...

Yeah, so they have to have a policy. They can't go "No, we don't want your money"...

I didn't think you were an idiot until I read this post.

Get a life, I'm done with you...


heh i love it when someone is proven wrong but wont admit it. sigh.

Huh, yeah. . . :confused: Their policy is to say "No, we don't want your money" if it's a $50 or a $100 bill. Or if it's $30 in pennies for that matter.
