Its legal tender, theres no way a shop can refuse to take it, as it bears the queens head. They have given you a price for the item, so long as the currency isn't fake, you can pay how you like. If they did refuse, you could probably report them to trading standards or something similar, certainly, you should take your business elsewhere.

There's no largest amount they're legally allowed to accept, but the highest amount of copper coins a shop is legally OBLIGED to accept is 20p.
So, if you head into a shop to buy something and give them £20 in copper and small silver, they have every right not to accept it from you.

Depends on shopkeeper, if they don't accept pennies then they can't have payment. Best bet is get some money bags from bank and change them there yourself...or post office.

Pennies are legal tender in America, they should accept any and all. A friend of mine was upset with a supplier and paid his bill of $144.00 in pennies. They accepted them, with dismay !
