“This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.”
Anyway, that treasury.gov link is actually a good reference for the original point I was trying to make about the introduction section of the paper: it explains that companies are not obliged to accept legal tender for normal payments.
But if you bought that same tv on an installment plan, they would have to accept payments in cash.
The first one does not involve debt, the second does. That’s the difference.
