Really? I haven't encountered that much ... where are you running into that? There was one place last summer that didn't want my $100, but they changed their mind when it was about to walk out the door. I always thought it was illegal to rufuse legal tender, whether it's a $100 bill or a bag of pennies.
On the topic of legal tender, are postage stamps also considered legal tender? I was once told that they are an issue of the government of Canada, carry a monetary face value, and therefore have to be treated as legal tender. I've also been told by others that this was strictly a wartime measure or something like that. Does anyone know the definitive ruling on this?
