Yes a business can choose to accept any method of payment. Although our federal reserve notes state that they can be exchanged "for all debts public and private," that doesn't mean someone has to accept them. They can still choose to accept only electronic payments of dollars, or a check made out in dollars.

Not exact true. Of course the answer from the Federal Reserve puts money in the pocket Bankers. No business does not have to accept cash, but according to the Uniform Commercial Code, refusal to accept cash constitutes renunciation of the tendered amount and any such debt is paid in full to the tendered amount. But take witnesses, lots and lots of witnesses. Consult a honest lawyer in your locale on how enforceable Uniform Commercial Code is in your area. The Fed has a vested interest in turning a blindeye. Anybody up for a reverse run on the Banksters. (I am not a lawyer)

This is most common in businesses such as restaurants or convenience shops that process a large number of small purchases, where it is not an unreasonable burden on the customer to pay in cash. Many companies operating online also find it safer and more reliable to accept only online payment processors like PayPal, not only is it typically less of an expense but the company does not have to be responsible for securing credit card data.
