Town Office Refuses To Accept Prez Dollars

Interesting cajuncoin, can you actually trace your ancestry back to settlers in Nova Scotia in the 1700s?

For those that are not familiar, The Acadians were settlers of French origin who lived in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. They refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the British, and were allowed to swear an oath of neutrality in the early 1700s, because they did not wish to swear allegiance to France either... Later on, as tensions built up between the Britain and the France, the British decided to deport all Acadians when they refused to make the oath. I think something like 90% of the Acadian pop. was deported.

Oh, I almost forgot to comment on the topic ;) I agree, if they don't want to accept legal tender without a valid reason, don't pay.

If anyone has ever held a management position in a job that deals with a lot of cash transactions, you'll understand the position of the business a bit better. Making a cash deposit every night is pain enough, banks hassle you about everything. Throwing dollar coins in the bag just aggravates the issue. Not to mention minimum wage employees dealing with several different kinds of dollar coins. Suzy's, sac's that all have differing reverses, and now the four different presidents a year!! If we ever want to go to a dollar coin the first thing that will have to happen is a standard coin. Several different coins that all look different and are barely circulated doesn't incourage change.

If they were silver dollars they'd take them!
