isn't that illegal in the US? I thought that USDs had to be acceptable foe debts public and private.
I know NZ removed it during COVID under the guise of public health... they said that COVID would be spread via cash 🤣
'No cash accepted' signs are bad news for unbanked Americans

Pretty sure it is but good luck forcing the establishment to accept it. More effort than it's worth to fight it. So it's a useless law it seems.
No federal laws requiring you to accept USD in any form but a small handful of localities require you to accept cash if you accept credit cards. Not sure but there may be an exception for debt you owe if you make a reasonable attempt to pay and they refuse it's null. Debt rules wouldn't apply to purchasing something though.
