Under the Canada Bank Act, used by Grosvenor when paying at CRA, the following
amounts of coins are legal for payment in Canada:

1 cents			25		  0.25
5 cents	          	           100		  5.00
10 cents =+25 cents			10.00
$1 coins		25		25.00
$2 coins		20		40.00

Total coins allowed by law = 	            $80.25


If thousands of you oppressed taxpayers were to pay your taxes to CRA in CASH,
with lawyers and media attending, how long do you think it will take for the
crooks mismanaging CRA to finally obey the law of the land?

Particularly if by refusing cash/legal tender as payment, they wind up voiding
the taxes owed??!!
