What can I do with 10 pound notes issued by Isle of Man?

Jersey, Guernsey, Manx currency, etc, is not 'legal tender' in the UK, but legal tender is a narrow definition that only applies to the payment of debts. Many millions of notes are in circulation that are not 'legal tender', but they are all a 'legal currency' approved by the UK parliament, backed by Bank of England securities, and are 'worth' exactly the same as their UK equivalents. Therefore you can simply try to spend them in any shop. If the shop refuses them, try another, or take it to the bank.

Can debt settlement be made in copper coin to the government?

Yes. Title 31 (Money and Finance), Subtitle IV (Money), Chapter 51 (Coins and Currency), Subchapter I (Monetary System), Section 5103 (Legal Tender) of the United States Code states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts." There is, however, no Federal law mandating that a person or organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. The Federal Reserve System must honor U.S. currency and coins, not necessarily anyone else. U.S. currency and coins can be used for making payments, but merchants do not necessarily have to accept it for all forms of business transactions.

What is the importance of having coins and notes a legal tender?

Most, if not all countries, have their own currency. The country will have a central bank or other issuing authority that is usually solely responsible for the issue of currency within that country.Examples are the "Reserve Bank of xxxxx", the "Central Bank of xxxxx", the "Bank of England", etc. The currency of that country is protected by making it Legal Tender.The function of a national Legal Tender is so that any transaction between two parties in that country can be settled by an exchange of Legal Tender currency, which cannot be refused, to settle that debt.After that, it all gets a little complicated about how many of a particular unit of currency can be used, for example, you would not go to do your weekly grocery shopping with Fifty Pounds worth of Pennies. The maximum legal tender amount for 1 and 2 Pence coins in one transaction is 20 Pence.
