Dirty is just salty...regardless if theyre wrong or not for where they parked legally they cant do that...its actually illegal to deny any form of US currency as payment for goods or services even if its sh$t load of pennies...i'm doing this when i go to traffic court to pay that $100 ticket next month and have someone record itOriginally Posted by damnitzdom

But you act like just because something is legal, it's civilized. He did this just to be an a-hole. And the point is, who takes the fall here? The person actually making profit from the tow company's allegedly shady dealings, or the girl working the counter who probably gets paid minimum wage? It'd be like being angry at popcorn prices at the movies and proving your point by dumping popcorn butter on the cashier's head.Originally Posted by Adidas Freak

He's paying for his car with money.... I'd understand if he was paying in gift cards or some @!$% but it was real money and they have to take it. Point blank period. Tow truck companies are nothing but a bunch of greedy bastards anyways.

the girl that refused to count LEGAL TENDER wasted alot of peoples time that day. If she did her job like she was supposed to, this would've all been avoided. pennies are U.S money. the guy was a douche for doing that but he didn't do anything illegal.

Legal Tender Status
[/h2]
[h4]
I thought that United States currency was legal tender for all debts. Some businesses or governmental agencies say that they will only accept checks, money orders or credit cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or smaller. Isn't this illegal?
[/h4]
The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."
This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.

That's it. All this means is that the Federal Reserve System must honor U.S. currency and coins, not necessarily anyone else. U.S. currency and coins can be used for making payments, but merchants do not necessarily have to accept it for all forms of business transactions.
