  • Re-read my comment. You’re saying the same thing I did. Did you think I replied to you and not the other user?

    Here’s what I said:

    A retail store, a restaurant etc. can refuse currency from a customer but a loan/lien holder, a public utility company, a government entity or an HOA must all accept any legal tender.

    Which is the same as:

    If it’s before the point of sale, they can refuse any form of payment. If you’ve already accrued the debt, they can’t refuse it.

    The user I replied to who was responding to you said:

    There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.

    I told them they were confusing two separate issues.



  • Thomas Campbell’s 1809 poem, Gertrude of Wyoming, helped popularize the name in the context of the Wyoming Valley.

    Yeah, maybe read up and learn some history.

    The Wyoming that Campbell described is a verdant valley bisected by the Susquehanna River in what is now northeastern Pennsylvania. In the mid 1700’s, the colony of Connecticut claimed it, citing a conveyance by King James the First under the great seal of England dated November 3, 1620. At the same time, the Six Nations Indian tribes—the Iroquois—claimed they owned the Wyoming valley, though it was mostly occupied by Delaware and other peoples pushed out of other places, who were sometimes allies of the Iroquois, and sometimes not.
