... The problem is that 'for no good reason' is uh, lets say, up to interpretation, and if you go to enough banks, you may end up getting arrested or trespassed for simply consistently holding the position that 'this is legal tender', depending on your attitude and the attitudes of everyone else involved.
Public nuisance? Attempted fraud? Trespassing? Disorderly conduct? Disturbing the peace? Impeding/hampering the operation of a legal business?
All potentially on the menu.
This is what I meant by 'interesting', lol.
Its ... like a thing Tyler Durden / The Narrator would do for fun.
Maybe your bank account goes up by $100, maybe you end up in jail, maybe you just end up pissed off.
Those hypotheticals are more lurid fantasies than likely occurrences.
There was a black guy in the US a couple years ago that won a law suit because a bank wouldnt accept a check from him on grounds of suspected fraud. He went to deposit the winnings and it happened again so he sued again and won again.
Hah, I vaguely remember that.
Nah, I've had half of those threatened to me after my identity got stolen and I had to go to a bunch of physical locations to reset a bunch of accounts.
If somebody is more conviced you're doing fraud, than trying to recover from it?
They'll call the cops.
That sucks, but was a very different situation from asking your bank to accept a damaged benny.
