   << <i>russ, i am not sure if you are correct on that. >> Of course I'm correct. It's a common misconception that a business is required to accept US money. The phrase "legal tender" simply means that it is legal to use as payment. It does not infer a legal obligation to accept it. Russ, NCNE

    << <i>They have to take them. They are legal tender. >> Actually, no they don't have to take them. There is no law that says a business must accept any specific type of payment whether it be currency or coin. Russ, NCNE
