Of course you can offer that payment.... but they can refuse to accept. And contrary to the 'old fable', their refusal does not waive the payment obligation.erics79 said:I was wondering if it was possible to pay a $150 fine that I got with pennies,
No.........erics79 said:Yes, but the fine was issued by the government so would change things?
Cash is paper or coins. If they accept paper, what legal grounds could the possibly have for not accepting coins, other than "I don't want to."?JETX said:But the Treasury Department says there is no federal law requiring that a private business, person or organization must accept currency or coins as a payment for goods or services.
Unless there's a state law that requires a business to accept cash, private companies can set their own policies on whether they will take paper or coins.
What makes you think that another reason is required??Peetie said:Cash is paper or coins. If they accept paper, what legal grounds could the possibly have for not accepting coins, other than "I don't want to."?
If they accept them, yes.erics79 said:so paper is required? I assume 150 one dollar bills will work then?

Oh, you are one sneaky dude, my friend!! That would surely toss them for a loop....HomeGuru said:**A: fool them and give them ONE cashier's check or money order.
Awww, poor baby. So you disagree. Who cares?? This is a FREE LEGAL forum. If you don't like the legally accurate advice you receive, go do what you want. I really don't give a crap what you believe.... or do.erics79 said:What JETX is saying makes no sense
Idiot!! If you did that, I would simply turn around, make my payment to the court, get a reciept and ask the court to issue a 'Satisfaction of Judgment'. Case closed!!if what he says is true than if a court ordered someone to pay me money I could just refuse to accept any payment citing that it isn't an expectable one and then they would be in violation of court order.
And your 'understanding' is useless. After all, you are the idiot who started this whole thing because you didn't KNOW the answer..... now you seem to be claiming you are an expert.My understanding was that US currency is the legal tender for all contracts, what case law do you have that says otherwise?
