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.

well, no he isn't
people can choose what they want to accept, but they can't force someone else to accept it. it has to be mutual.

it's too boring to go into, unless you work in compliance and it's exciting compared to your actual job.

...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.

If 'swipe's wrong, someone needs to tell the Only Connect team.

but the post only refers to coins
it was meant to be a tiny bit of info about paying with coins. not a lecture on bartering with animals and oral sex. my god, you could suck the life out of an s-club party.

not that you'd ever be invited to a party. because, you know. shit and dull.

For a solicitor you have extremely poor deduction and reasoning skills.

Ah, so you are qualified to judge legals as well as literature and academia?
No wonder you're the only person wherever you go that knows anything about anything, eh?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Jul 2014, 21:15, closed)

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.

It's a bit silly really.

You are taking a silly point on semantics. Because you are a deathly dull tedious gimp.
