I bothered our attorney and Jim is correct, a private sale like for fast food or something at the hardware store can deny the payment if they deem is unreasonable but say for a tax bill overdue they can't deny the payment type if its legal currency. So if he was past due he would "win". If he was paying a auto tax a week before the due date they could say pound sand.

A private merchant can deny sale to anyone as long as its not a civil rights issue....I had it mixed up.

Jim had it correct all along!

I thought I remembered that pennies, although US coinage, weren't legal tender in some cases. But then I'm old.

That was true before 1965.

You might be old...If you remember things from the 60's like they were just yesterday....
