3 visitors sue National Park Service over cashless entry fee policy, citing U.S. law on legal tender.

Three visitors are suing the National Park Service over its cashless policy for park entry fees. The plaintiffs, from California, New York, and Georgia, argue that this policy violates a U.S. law stating that "coins and currency ... are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes and dues." The National Park Service has adopted cashless policies at nearly 30 locations and claims that accepting cash is costly and time-consuming.
