I dunno ... a less convoluted interpretation of this might be that you said something wrong and somebody else corrected you
I don't want to quash your naive enthusiasm, but that wouldn't be the first time this has happened on the internet.

A more interesting fact would be...
No bank notes are legal tender in Scotland, including Scottish bank notes. No Scottish Bank notes are legal tender in England and Wales either but people accept them because as dozer pointed out they can accept payment in any form they see fit.

...but 'legal tender' has no real application in real life
In everyday transactions, 'legal tender' is meaningless. Hence why you can use debit & credit cards.

people can choose what they want to accept, but they can't force someone else to accept it. it has to be mutual.

...which is the point.
'Legal tender' only has a very slim meaning and has zero bearing on what can be accepted as payment for goods or services.

So, while you are correct about small denominations not being legal tender for sums over afew pounds, it's entirely incorrect to say that it's a basis for refusal.

To reiterate, if legal tender meant the basis for acceptance of payment then you couldn't shop online. So your post was both boring and incorrect.

you outlined the legal meaning of 'legal tender', yet you are still insisting it applies to situations outside of that definition.
You are, by your own admittance, wrong here.

Yet still you bash away.
