Cash is legal tender for settling debts public and private. That's the law.


Actually cash can be refused if the face amount of the bill is large (although
nowadays $100....the biggest bill in circulation....is not terribly large), or
if the vendor does not have change (taxis, street vendors, etc.). Possibly
counterfit currency can be refused also


The "legal" solution is to pay the $100 (for instance) and return later for
your change; that way you get your goods when you need them. Not convenient,
true.


You're late to the party...

The "legal" solution is you are out of luck; a private party can set any
payment method they want, including refusing cash of any denomination they
see fit.
