So saith the U.S. Government.

So you go to pay your bill/copay/whatever, and plunk down a $50 and change. Exact amount of the bill. But--the person/place you're paying doesn't accept cash, only credit or debit cards. You have neither (as far as I know, there is no law requiring you to have the plastic). So...

can a merchant or business legally refuse your payment if cash is all you have, even though the government guarantees that the cash is legal tender?
