Hey there kids:

What bird is on the back of the $1000 bill? The Pine Grossbeak, that's what...

Having participated in this discussion with meaningless trivia, let me say this: The merchant must accept the currency for "Necessities of Life", and nothing more. Like Charlatan said, they don't have to accept your business;

You will not see the sign on grocery stores, utilities, the landlord, and in some cases, at the gas station. Those places that the court deems "Necessary" cannot refuse you service, prima facie.

I haven't touched a large bill in ages, and have to agree with the whole "20$ at the ATM" idea.

Then again, I use my interac card so much that I often find myself without cash of any kind. When a retailer doesn't take interac, I get really flustered.
