The never-repealed Section 10 in the US Constitution includes this:
Section 10: Powers Denied to the States No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
But we long ago passed the point where the law is meaningless in America.
isn't there a law in the U.S. stating that stores MUST accept cash so long as it's U.S. coin or currency? The only exceptions being very large purchases, such as homes/cars.
If it were in anyone's interest to force acceptance of cash, it would be the Federal Reserve, but...
Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?
There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.

anti-christ IS the man of lawlessness.
The other problem is that there is no prescribed punishment for violating these constitutional rights/obligations.
Yes, and that's an excellent point.
I am in Lafayette right now and have not experienced this.

See the comment from u/Narg
no you can run credit only if you want. no one around me takes cash anymore. its slow as fuck.
False statement there.
True statement: Chip cards are slower than cash.
I went to the bank to pull out alot of cash. They said they were short on 100's. Had to give me half of my sum in 50's
That’s a benefit. Most things won’t be $100 and most won’t have change for things less than $100.
