Or nickels, dimes, etc.?

There's no limit. A merchant is entitled to restrict payment methods---apartments often don't accept cash in payment of rent, and fast-food joints won't take bills larger than $20---but as far as I can tell, your way to legendary status as a pain in the IRS's neck is clear.
The Internal Revenue Manual
Part 21 - Customer Account Services
Chapter 3 - Taxpayer Contacts
Section 4 - Field Assistance
says:
"21.3.4.7.2 (04-01-2007)
"Cash Payments
"1. The IRS must accept cash payments from taxpayers who do not have a check or money order, are unable to obtain one, or insist on paying in cash."
This is followed by
"21.3.4.7.2
"Procedures For Accepting Cash Payments
"1. General procedures for accepting cash payments are:
"A.Ensure that the taxpayer has the exact amount of the payment. DO NOT MAKE CHANGE.
"B. Count the cash carefully in the taxpayer's presence..."
Enjoy !
P.S. Here are some brothers in arms:

I don't think there is a legal limit, but at 5 figures, that is in the MILLIONS of pennies. Don't be surprised if you are 'randomly' selected for an audit the next 20 years.
EDIT: I just noticed the requirement to count the money WITH THE TAXPAYER present. At 1 penny per second, that is over 3 years non-stop. They may just decide to manually count your payment in shifts. YOU can plan on being in the office for a LONG time. |

There is no limit.
But really... all it does is piss off some $8.50 /hr clerk that has to count it. Do you really want to take it all out on him/her.
Look at it this way. If you owe all that money you made a good living. I always say I would rather have to pay a lot of taxes then be dirt poor. |

Legally, there is no limit under federal law, according to the currency act of 1965. |
