I did not realize there was a limitation on Pennies as legal tender. Good to know.

However, your second point agrees with what I was trying to say. The fact that a business does not accept change below a certain amount has nothing to do with whether a denomination is legal tender or not. Legal tender only has to do with cancelling out or paying debts.

From the child post: >>Yup, one of the common misconceptions about money. There's also no legal requirement to give change.

This also has nothing to do with whether a coin/denomination is legal tender or not.
