Okay, someone clarify: I was under the impression that, for debts owed (like parking tickets), they have to accept legal tender (hence why you see videos of people paying tickets with thousands of pennies to be jerks). However, purchases that do not incur a debt to be repaid (say, buying groceries) are not under that restriction. If you don't pay how the merchant wants, you simply don't get your goods.

Is rent not considered a debt owed?

Edit: looked it up. Only government agencies are required to accept legal tender.

Why would the burden be on your landlord to exchange it into usable currency?

That would be like someone wanting to pay their American Rent in Pesos.

So sell it, and give them the cash.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

This is why it's totally legal for a gas station to have a sign saying that between certain hours they won't take 100s or 50s. Yes, I actually saw a sign like that as a kid. As an adult, I totally understand why.

Well, the small local gas station went under. I live in a rural area that's mostly large corporations for shopping.
