City of Ft. Collins "Gives In"

[Aloha_Shooter]

There is, however, no federal statute that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy

I recall reading roughly 35 years ago about a law that specifically said no one could be forced to accept more than $0.99 in coinage but can't find the reference -- it's quite likely I'm misremembering something about the story.

A traffic ticket is not a good or service. It is a debt. The municipal court is not a private entity. The above quote does not apply.
