Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment? There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
It says right on the bills, this is legal tender
Yes, it's for debts, not purchasing in a store or restaurant. Says it right there on the fed website.
Personally I think it should be up to the private business rather than the government telling them what to do. Don't use the business if they won't accept cash.
So I could open a business taking Chickens as payment and eschewing cash? Really? And when the Tax Collector comes I can tell them I have not profited a single dollar!
