I don't think that anywhere requires particular denominations to be accepted by law. If you're referring to "legal tender" laws, or similar, that's to do with settlement of debts.

Several countries in Europe undoubtedly require businesses to accept all denominations of euros with the qualification of denying change (for obvious reasons, try paying 10EUR with a 500EUR bill).

Some places limit the number of coins you can use (there were people paying fines with hundreds of coins).
