Did you not read anything I said? You don’t have a debt before the deal is made or the sale is done.

The article does not say that the debt holder can specify the form of payment to exclude legal tender before the debt is incurred.

It’s supposed to be in case you destroy property.

Would a hand crank electric generator for a doorbell count?

I have a lamp my grandfather made out of an old moonshine jug in like the 40s.

But that’s only using like 2 minutes of the 2 hour return window

I’m not extremely familiar with the USB-C handshake, but isn’t it between the device and power supply?

It’s not a failure to default to a safe level if it can’t negotiate properly. That’s a feature.

I felt like this when I was bulking and eating healthy. Eating 5k Calories of healthy food a day is a fucking chore.

Oops, my bad. My eyes fucked up the comment levels.

No, you’re confusing two separate issues.

If it’s before the point of sale, they can refuse any form of payment. If you’ve already accrued the debt, they can’t refuse it.

At no point in this entire chain was I talking about payment for goods and services. My original statement was about fines levied by the city or state, which is a debt that the debtor legally has to accept pennies for, or discharge the debt.

You do have to remember that the devs had just as much of a reason to push out a half-baked game as the publisher did for delaying the game.

The bonus situation makes this case different from the others. Both scenarios are equally likely.

Yes, you’re correct. That’s where the “debt” part comes in. If it’s before you incur the debt, they can refuse to accept any legal tender.

Yes it does. It’s a legal form of payment, and if a lender denies it, you can sue to have the entire debt discharged because the lender is refusing legal tender.

If you’re a debt holder, you’re required by federal law to accept any form of legal tender as payment, which includes coins.

Here’s the full article I got the statute from.

Title 31 (Money and Finance), Subtitle IV (Money), Chapter 51 (Coins and Currency), Subchapter I (Monetary System), Section 5103 (Legal Tender) of the United States Code 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. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.

Murder requires intent. Her intent was that the car would be running the whole time she was in the appointment. She wasn’t aware the car would shut off after an hour running in park.

That makes it negligent manslaughter.

The discussion is about fines. I’m not sure why you’re talking about lenders.

Also, Title 31 (Money and Finance), Subtitle IV (Money), Chapter 51 (Coins and Currency), Subchapter I (Monetary System), Section 5103 (Legal Tender) of the United States Code 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. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.

So yes, there is a federal statue requiring private lenders accept coins as payment.

In the US, pennies are legal tender and have to be accepted as payment for debts owed. This tactic usually ended up in the fine being dismissed.

I know there’s been a few cases of people paying fines with wheelbarrows full of loose pennies.

She did leave the car running, but it shut off after an hour.

It’s still super negligent to leave a 1 and 2 year old alone in public for 2.5h, regardless of the weather.
