Pennies are not considered legal tender in quantities of more than 50 unless 
they are rolled.  I am not sure about the $2 bills.  Besides, the cashier 
accepted them. Then the trouble started.

Ken's idea sounds like a nice protest.  Everybody who reads this thread should 
only use $2 bills for an future Best Buy purchases.


Unfortunatly, the clerk was correct.  She did not have to take them as payment 
if she did not want to.  Just because they are legal tender does not force 
anybody to take them for payment.  This is what would legally allow a 
dealership to refuse to accept pennies for the purchase of a car.  Or more 
personally, allow my apartment managers to not accept cash of any sort, only 
checks and money orders.
