<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 479654, member: 12789"]When these nuisance things come before court trials they tend to rule in favour of the organisation or individual refusing the cents. If you have ever worked in retail you will have at one time or another experienced someone paying like this - most of the time people like kids do it because they saved the money over a period of time and are just getting around to spending it. But when someone wants to create a nuisance by paying in small coins etc. it is generally opined that they are only trying to be a nuisance and the payment can only be accepted in a regularly understood form.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not aware of any laws in the USA regulating legal tender amounts on coinage, I know they exist in many countries like Britain where pennies are legal tender only up to 20p. I don't believe there is a clear cut case in the USA that one could cite as definitive on this subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
