<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wiggam007, post: 656489, member: 18436&quot;]Ok, hope if you don&#039;t mind what is probably a silly question but where do other forms of tender fit into all of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems from that section of code that U.S. currency and coins are legal tender but foreign currency and coins are not.&nbsp; But, there are many places that do not accept out of town checks or certain types of credit cards etc.&nbsp; These are clearly not illegal tender, but they must not be legal tender as well since places are not obligated to take them.&nbsp; What kind of legal restrictions do these fall under as far as accepting/declining them fall under?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Reading the above link makes me even more confused.&nbsp; What point is it that something is even considered legal tender if, according to that law and that interpretation, people do not even have to accept it.&nbsp; It even notes in that question that some government agencies do not accept it.&nbsp; Then why bother calling it legal tender or making other tender illegal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know if that made any sense, but all of this talk just had me wondering how those fit into the legal side of the system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
