But on the bill itself that Im holding now it says “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.” Once you owe someone money they can state their preference for card/check, but they cant flat out refuse cash.

The words don't imply that paper currency must be accepted for a debt, simply that the currency can be used for a debt.
