Well, technically they are required to. It clearly states, "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private". It's similar to stores that won't take over an $x bill. Frankly, it's bullshit. I've not seen a case where this was tried in court, but I'd like to. My understanding is that legal tender MUST BE TENDERED at a point of sale. If you pay for a 2006 Ford Escort with $1 bills, so be it. *shrug*

Also note that you still wouldn't "lose" the pennies... you can always take them to the bank (just like $2 bills or $1/$5 silver certificates)
