Sounds pretty positive.   Could you maybe point to someplace that
actually says that?  I mean some federal site or a lawyer or whatever
that has some credibility.

Refusing to take cash does not mean a refusal of payment.
If it does, I sure would like to see where it says so.  Just because
it says legal tender on it does NOT mean someone has to accept it for
payment. Other than federally.

But, if I am wrong I am sure you will show us where you got your
wisdom from and prove me wrong.

This issue came up about a year ago when I posted a question about
paying a bill in coins.   Nobody could answer the question.

Also just for your info, the assistant manager at Royal Bank Main
branch Vancouver (forgot his name) told me that there was NO legal
requirement forcing anybody to accept anything as payment.  In other
words you can request payment in any form you want as long as it is
legal and refusing to pay in whatever commodity does not wipe out the
dept.

Also, anybody who refuses cash is just asking to loose a LOT of
business unless they are a monopoly.
