Depends. If the cash payment is the payment of debt, then the payment cannot be refused, as long as the money is still legal tender. Cents stop being legal tender after a certain amount, which is why you cannot try to pay a debt using 10,000 cents for example, this can be legally refused.
If it's payment in a shop, a shop has the right to refuse service to anyone as long as it is not for a racial, age, gender related reason. They do not 'have' to accept any offer of payment, nor are they disallowed from accepting payment in other forms.
I believe that cash is LEGAL TENDER within the United States and must be accepted in trade for any and all debts within the United States. Please correct me if I am wrong
Yes. They will refuse payment. No bank will actually cash a stale dated check. Checks usually have a validity of 90 or 180 days (depending on the country) and after that date, the check is stale and worthless. No bank will accept such checks for cashing or cash it.
Because legal tender just means that you have to use units of Australian currency, it doesn't mean that you must pay using any particular form of that currency. For example, a company could refuse to accept your payment if you paid $1000 entirely in 5c pieces. Increasingly business is reliant on electronic transactions. Many operations are not set up to handle cash payments (for example, they lack secure facilities for keeping cash), and so they will request electronic payment instead.
Yes. Their may be very valid legal reasons for a bank (or business) to issue a check, and then refuse to negotiate it. It all depends on the specifics of the matter.
In the United States, there is no legal limit on the number of pennies you can use to make a cash payment, but businesses may refuse large quantities for practical reasons. Typically, if a payment involves a significant number of pennies, the recipient may be allowed to limit the amount accepted or request a more manageable form of payment. It's important to check with the specific business regarding their policy on accepting coins.

In most jurisdictions, no, it is not a crime, though it might depend on the details to some extent. It is legal for a business to refuse to accept cash at all, or to refuse to accept certain denominations, provided that it's for a new purchase and not an existing debt. It's also generally regarded as legitimate for a business to refuse to accept payment with otherwise legal currency that's clearly inappropriate for the debt in question... trying to buy a car with one-dollar bills, for example, or handing over a sock full of pennies, or a torn and defaced bill.
There is nothing that prohibits that refusal - the tenant can always go get a cashier's check. Some landlords will refuse personal checks if the tenant has bounced checks in the past. Also, some landlords will insist on only taking cash, then refuse to give a receipt. Only an idiot would pay cash and not get a receipt.
Received cash from a customer as payment on account
1. Return to originator and demand cash payment plus any penalty that was charged to you for trying to cash a worthless check. 2. Refuse any further checks from same party.
Yes, but it's strange they won't take cash. Try to find out what form they want payment in, and then try to make payment that way. If cash is the only way you can do it, call them and ask how to make a payment in cash.
