The Salvadoreans (or perhaps it's the BBC) seem to take the view that "legal tender" means any trader must accept it. That's not what the term means here in the UK; it means that once a debt is incurred, an offer to clear it with legal tender prevents the creditor subsequently suing for non-payment. So you can't walk into a shop, ask for a pack of ciggies, and then insist the shopkeeper accepts a £50 note (or a bucketful of 1p coins, for that matter). |
