People have apparently forgotten that $2 bills exist...

I spent 12 of them at Walmart the other day. The cashier looked at them for a good minute or two. When I asked him if he never seen one, he said that they had to check each bill they recieve for authenticity . When I was done, I saw another cashier running towards the checkout I was in, yelling I'll buy them all

I must be warped today as all this is beginning to sound like fun. I can get them at my bank quite easily. Being my luck, the Police would show up and arrest me. Then I'd be forced to sue the store for false arrest, public embarrassment, stealing my personal time from me, failure to properly educate their cashier's on money and anything else I can think of.

 

I believe them not having to take them wouldn't hold water. Before any work was done to a vehicle, there has to be a contract. If it's not stated in that contract, what forms of payment are/not acceptable, then they are legally bound to accept them.

 

No, actually they aren't. A sales contract does not necessarily create a debt--only a requirement to pay for the service rendered. While a contract can specifically state that only certain forms of payment are accepted, lack of such a clause does not mean that any form of payment is acceptable--for example, a chicken farmer can offer eggs in payment--doesn't mean it has to be accepted.

This is why a convenience store can refuse to accept large bills. While it makes good business sense to inform a prospective customer that he can't break his 100 dollar bill before he tries to buy a cup of coffee the store is not legally required to do so.

 

I don't see them in circulation but you can get them easily at banks.

 

A convenience store may tell you they don't take it, but owe them for a tank of gas and that's all you have. They can call the law if they want too, but it if it is real cash, the law will tell them to take it or you are free to go. At least that is what happens in my world, where cash and logic is still used.

 

I went to the bank today to get $40 in two dollar bills for my Cancun trip next weekend. I'm going to use them for tipping along with some president dollars.

 

I hope this wasn't after they marked them all up with that stupid "counterfeit detection" pen.

 

No, he looked for the water mark and didn't use the pen.
