[snip] In one of these posts there was a reference to large amounts of small change (specifically pennies) being legal tender... When my dad ran a bread truck in the 1950's, a mafia character who had a bad day paid him $20 or so in pennies, and my dad said he took it with little argument. However, I have heard from a few places years ago that pennies over a certain quantity may be refused as not legal tender. There were posts here which suggested that cash of any kind may not have to be accepted under certain conditions. I wish this was clearer, or I could know for sure if these were gray areas, at least in certain jurisdictions....
