pretty sure you can deny payment in pennies if the amount is greater than 50 cents.

Not in that situation because he had to pay to get his car, he wasn't just buying something from a store

That's not even a big deal. Some guy did it with way more than that for some bullshit fine years ago.

No it's not the law. 50/100 dollar bills are legal tender and they don't need to be accepted. lots of places flat out refuse to accept them.

and here's the law for canada, everything is legal tender for no more than the following amounts:

forty dollars if the denomination is two dollars or greater but does not exceed ten dollars;

twenty-five dollars if the denomination is one dollar;

ten dollars if the denomination is ten cents or greater but less than one dollar;

five dollars if the denomination is five cents; and

twenty-five cents if the denomination is one cent.


so you are not obliged to accept more than 25 cents in pennies.

Do they have a law about denomination being too small? What you're talking about is so places don't get robbed and lose a lot of cash if the burglar grabs a handful from the register, I doubt anyone would snag 8,800 pennies.

read the italic part of my post. over 25 cents in pennies you can legally refuse to take it and the person has to pay by other means. etc etc

I feel like this applies to like convient stores, and places where you're purchasing their product, not when you have to get your car back.

after reading the site someone posted with the US rules/regs, it looks like any business can not accept a certain form of currency if they chose. its basically refusing to sell to someone, which is legal. but if you're paying off a fine, ticket, tow etc. they really can't do anything but accept or drop the charge/fine
