pennies would have been better.

pennies would have been better.

IIRC, you can't do that anymore, even if they are rolled.

Edit;

I just did some double checking and what I found is that while pennies are legal tender for all debts, the merchant ( In this case the tax office) has the right to refuse to accept them in large numbers just as they have the right to refuse to accept a $100 bill for a pack of $0.25 gum.

They cannot, however, say we do not take cash.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Yes, they can. Some places do.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Yes, they can. Some places do.

Any public debt can be paid in cash. If they refuse to accept cash, they cancel the debt.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Naw.

That's just hassling some poor schlub who is stuck paying the same excessive percentage as you are.

Better to vote against those who support big business. You know - the bloodsucking Republicans.

I would, however, ensure that I had a lawyer and a public notary so that the agency refusing to take the cash payment will sign a paper stating that they refused the tax payment and that the effort to make the payment was on time.

He was paying the school property tax in Philly, you can't blame Republicans for that.

Once you succeed in destroying big business, who's going to manufacture the computer you use to complain about it?

And the internet servers you use to carry your messages?

And the car you use to drive to work (assuming you have a job)?

Who's going to bring the food to market so you can buy and eat it?

I said nothing about a "public debt". Private businesses can NOT accept cash.

The OP was about paying a public debt, you commented on it, therefore, you were talking about public dent.
