I know many years ago, I actually did pay a vendor all in pennies (I did have them rolled from the bank) as a sign of protest. It did cause them to come back & settle a few things with me. Now to my question. A penny is LEGAL TENDER the same as a TWENTY DOLLAR bill. If a person refuse to accept a penny, is this not the same as refusing to accept any other form of LEGAL TENDER. It seems that the use of PAPER money is a form of convience as well as payment. So refusing to accept 1 form is the same as accepting any form.
So maybe if we had a national penny pay day. Maybe the airlines would take notice.
