I don't think that says what you think it does. Just because they are legal tender does not inherently mean (nor does that snippet say) that they cannot be denied as a form of payment.

    Yes it does. It's a legal form of payment, and if a lender denies it, you can sue to have the entire debt discharged because the lender is refusing legal tender.

    If you're a debt holder, you're required by federal law to accept any form of legal tender as payment, which includes coins.

    Here's the full article I got the statute from.
