The USD, dollar, is to be accepted for all debts . No one is challenging the denial of cash.

Q: I thought that United States currency was legal tender for all debts. Some businesses or governmental agencies say that they will only accept checks, money orders or credit cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or smaller. Isn’t this illegal?

A: The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled “Legal tender,” which states: “United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.”

The business that does not accept cash is in violation, unless State law states differently, ie, bus tokens,etc… a gray area that needs to be addressed.

I am not a Constitutional lawyer- but as the Federal Reserve has been chosen to administer our digital cash- would not the current regulation have to be changed? Voted on?

I don’t see many in Congress nipping cashless in the bud. I do believe Florida outlawed a cashless system….the Godly need to fight this “ sovereign digital currency “, quickly.
