Pretty sure that's illegal.
There has been precedent already set because of counterfeiting; the money was changed to the plastic stuff in the first place because so many places were refusing to accept anything over $20 because it was so fucking bad at the time (and apparently, they're at it again. It was coming out of Dawson Creek/Fort St John BC the last time, I've seen a couple refusal signs pop up recently.)
I'd like to see someone refuse the bills with the black nobody on it. Those I simply deface, and pass to vendors upside down and under another bill.
Intend to pay with 10s only. And if he doesn't accept it, well, you have nothing else to pay with, and he's refusing legal tender.
well, up to pizzeria owner if he doesnt want customers I guess
I'm sure the leftists will flock to his joint. The few that aren't vegan, anyway.
thats assuming leftist carry cash
Or they have any money at all.
Did they actually exhume any bodies yet?
Don't need to. The narrative has already been set, the targets painted, and the violence pre-emptively justified.
how about you just leave?
If a country has the $20 and the $5, why even bother to print the $10?
If a country has dimes and dollars, why have quarters? Or nickels and quarters to dimes?
I know there's a golden ratio-ish reason why the .25 and the .05 are more efficient than the .1, but I am in no mood to draw diagrams.
In my opinion Japan has it right: 1 5 10 50 100 500 coins then notes starting at 1000. I didn't know how annoying the euro 2 and 20 cent coins were until I paid for stuff on holiday there.
Like any coinage matters in Japan when even the parking meters accept SUICA.
Perhaps such is the case for $10 bills, too, then?
Yes.
Say you want to have 99 units of something. If your bills are the 1 and the 10 then you'll have 18 bills. If your units are the 1, 5, and 20, you have 12 bills, a 1/3rd reduction. With the 1, 5, and 25, you have 11.
I remember back in the 90's the Fed brought up the idea of dropping the $10 to save money. They did a lot of research to prove that the $20 actually circulates more than the $10 does and that many businesses simply don't request $10 straps to put in their registers at all.
