I am making my way back to cash more and more.
No one needs to see where or how I spend my paycheck.

Because Newton, Iowa.
I ditched plastic back in 2000.
Had been hacked, and had to go through the b.s. to stop payments, refund my nsf fees etc.
The biggest problem I run into , is cashier's that don't know how to count change without the register telling them .
I also believe the government , nor anyone else needs to know where I go , or what I purchase.

Isn't refusing to accept legal tender against federal law?
I believe its up to the business accepting it.
I haven't heard of any places not accepting new bills.
You might be right. Haha
The law is actually kind of interesting, because there's no law that explicitly details what forms of payment businesses accept; however, all US currency is also considered to be legal tender for all debts public or private. I've heard some people argue that that if you owe someone money for services already rendered, they would have to accept cash, but I highly doubt that true either. All in all, if the bueiness wants to accept cash or not, credit card or not, or trade goods for rare earth metals is completely up to them, but those decisions will affect their business.
It really wasn't a big deal in this case, just thought it was interesting. I've never seen them mark a $20 there, so you'd think if they were really worried about counterfeiting that'd be the bill they'd be most concerned about now.
Looks like you're right: http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm
Weird, I always thought it to be federal law!
I have seen more new counterfeit hundreds since their inception than all other bills combined. These things are so easily counterfeited its comical.
Me too but I recently read an article about a guy who tried to pay a few parking tickets with pennies and the county ended up rejecting it and they went to court. That still baffles me that they have the right to refuse currency minted or printed by the Government at their own discretion. You would think they could easily take whatever currency to the bank and deposit it all the same.
