Legal Tender Status

I thought that United States currency was iegal tender for all debts. Some businesses or
govermental agencies say that they will only accept checks, morey orders or credit
cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or
smaller. Isn't this illegal?
The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965,
specifrcaily Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tetder," which stetes: "United States
coins and curency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal
reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and
dugs."
This statute means that all United States money as identi{ied above are a valid and legal
offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal
statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organizalian must accept
cwrency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to
develop their own poiicies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State lau'
which says otherwise. For example, a bus line rnay prohibit payment of fares in pennies
or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse
to accept large denomination cutreocy (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy"
What are Federal Resene notes and how are they different from United States notes?
Federal Reserve notes are legal tender cwrency notes. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks
issue them into circulation pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. A commercial
bank belonging to the Federal Reserve System can obtain Federal Reserve notes from the
Federal Reserve Bank in its distnct whenever it wishes. It must pay for them in fuli,
dollar for dollar, by drawing down its account with its district Federal Reserve Bank.

(BEP). It pa1.s the BEP fbr the cost of producing the notes, r+'hich then become liabilities
of the Federal Reserve Banks, and obligations of the United States Government.
Congress has specified that a Federal Resene Bank must hold collaferai equal in vaiue to
the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold
certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue. The
idea was that if the Congress dissoived the Federal Reserve Systern, the United States
would take over the notes (liabilities). This would meet the requirements of Section 411,
but the govemment would also take over the assets, which would be of equal value.
Federal Reserve notes represent a first Iien on all the assets ofthe Federal Reserve Banks.
and on the collateral specifically heid against them.
Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and
receive no backing by anything This has been the case since 1933. The notes have no

value tbr themselves, but tbr u'hat they wili buy. In another sense,
because they are legal
tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" Uy att the g,:ods and services
in the economy.
What are {-inited States Notes and how are they ditferent from Fecleral
Resen"e notes?
Lrnited States Notes (characterized by a red seal and serial number) were
the first national
currency. authorized by the Legal Tencier Act of i 862 and began circulating
during the
Civil War. The rreasury Department issued these notes directly into circulation, and
they
are obligations of the United States Government. The issuance
of United States Notes is
subject to limitations estabiished bv Congress. It established a statutory
linritation of
$300 million on the amount of Uniied States Notes authorized to be outstanding
ancl in
circuiation. While this rvas a significant figure in Civil War days, it is
nou. a very small
fraction of the total currency in circulation in the united stales.
Both United States i'{otes and Federal Resen,e Notes are parts of our national
currency
and both are legal tender. They circulate as money in the
**y. However, the issuing
authority for them comes from diff'erent statutes. United States Notes were
redeemable in
goid until 1933, rvhen the United States abandoned tire gold standard.
Since then. borh
currencies have served essentially the same purpose, and hau. had the same yalue.
Because United States Notes serye no function that is not already adequately
sened by
Federal Resen'e Notes, their issuance w'as disconlinued, and none havl
been placecl in to
cjrcuiation since .ianuary U. j971.
