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.

Why are companies in Australia able to refuse hard currency or Legal tender and demand payment by direct debit with no option for the former?

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.

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.

Somebody refuse accepting torn note is it crime?

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.


Can a landlord or rental agent refuse a personal check as rental payment?

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.

If a company will not take your cash payment do you still owe the money?

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.
