Money that a creditor must by law accept in payment of debts?

Money that a creditor must by law accept in payment of debts is known as "legal tender." Legal tender refers to currency that, by law, must be accepted if offered in payment of a debt. In many countries, this typically includes banknotes and coins issued by the government. However, creditors can still refuse certain forms of payment, such as checks or electronic transfers, unless previously agreed upon.
