Want real money?JPR said:There are also old gold certificates, redeemable in gold coin.
Ah for the days when money was real...

I assume that Best Buy was in the same situation as the restaurant. They had already provided the service and debt had been established. The government, on the other hand, must accept barrels of pennies as payment for taxes if you can provide them.http://www.answers.com/topic/legal-tender said:Legal tender in the United States
As laid down in the United States Coinage Act of 1965, all coins and currencies of the United States, regardless of when coined or issued, shall be legal-tender for all debts, public and private, public charges, taxes, duties and dues.This excuses the several States from the prohibition laid on them in the United States Constitution (Article I Section 10) against making anything other than gold or silver coin a legal tender.
However, US federal law does not restrict private businesses, persons or organisations in what methods of payment they choose to accept or refuse. Businesses are therefore free to insist on payment by credit card, for example, or to refuse larger denomination banknotes. Even further though, legal tender laws do not preclude businesses from choosing to reject U.S. dollars for payment altogether. In this regard legal tender laws do not pertain to voluntary transactions.The occasional practice of offering large quantities of small denomination coins to pay resented debts is restricted by regulations limiting the use of "subsidiary" and "minor" coins (those with denominations of less than one dollar) similar to the Canadian ones listed below.

As legal tender can be refused until a person is in debt, vending machines and transport staff do not have to accept the largest denomination of banknote for a single bus fare or bar of chocolate, and even shopkeepers can reject large banknotes. However, restaurants that do not collect money until after a meal is served would have to accept any legal tender, though they would not be obliged to provide change the restaurant is not in debt, it has been given a gift.

A Ninja thing?Technopunk said:climbing buildings
I wish. I'm installing Motorolla Canopy Wireless Point to Multipoint antennas for extra cash. You get up on a 12/12 roof and scrabble down the side to tuck CAT5 under the shingles... it gets tiring on the 2nd or 3rd roof.arnisador said:A Ninja thing?
