Each jurisdiction can define its specific limits of what is legal tender but generally it is anything when offered (tendered) and accepted in order to pay off the debt. Although the original creditor who is owed money is not necessarily obligated to accept the tendered payment, <b>the specific act of tendering the payment absolves the debt.</b>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/legal_tender" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/legal_tender" rel="nofollow">https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/legal_tender</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that checks, credit cards, etc are NOT legal tender. They represent a &quot;promise&quot; of legal tender, but are not, in themselves, legal tender. Limits on legal tender are things like not allowing debts greater than $5 to be paid with pennies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
