What does constitute legal tender is set out by law, and in

But as per my other posting, legal tender is completely irrelevant
where no debt exists.
Ryanair, for instance, does not accept cash for booking of flights
(well, it might at the airport, but I'm not entirely sure it does). It
doesn't need to because no debt exists at the time of booking, as
you're booking before you fly. Neil

Of course they are not a U.K. company, and this seems to
aid them in some of their arrangements.

My point was that when refusing to accept payment the
real reason should be stated and not an irrelevance
about legal tender.
