<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 4803242, member: 100459"]I took a Business Law course a while back concerning paying in cash. Currency and coins are legal tender and by law, business are required to take them. I can't remember the recourse if they won't take your coins, but my poor memory states if they don't take the legal tender, you don't have to pay. I'm probably wrong on that, but I do know that the United States Treasury looks very close to people that won't take legal tender, currency or coin. I go to stores now with my pocket full of about a dollar in coins. I really got ticked when I went to a Dollar General and my bill was $2.94 and she wouldn't give me my change. That's when I started taking coins with me. I went to another store and my bill was $3.37. I think she thought I was going to let her keep my 63 cents. You should have seen her face when I gave her the 37 cents. A lot of stores want a check or credit card. Many people still don't have either. Any way that's my 2 nickels....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
