Today, I needed to pay off a $35 parking ticket. To try and get some sort of revenge, I went to the bank and got 3,500 pennies, dumped them into a bucket, and refused to pay with anything besides the pennies. They called the police. I was arrested and cited $147. FML

Ok so here is an update, they canceled my $147 fine because I was using 100% legal us tender. However in order to pay off the $35 in pennies they had to either be rolled by the bank or I had to count them 1 by 1, so I rolled 'em.

What on earth for? What did they cite you with? There's no violation of any law civil or criminal there...

A bucket full of pennies is a perfectly legitimate way to pay. They are legal tender. An idiotic way to pay would be like with sticks of gum.

They have every right to refuse it if you didn't bring them in properly rolled and labelled! It's their right to refuse 3,500 pennies thrown in a bucket think about all the people you're holding up so they can count 3,500 pennies.dumbass

Pretty sure that's illegal. Pennies are legal tender, so they have to take it. money is money.

"Revenge"? You got a ticket for something you did wrong. There's no injustice in that.

They can't do that. They have to accept the pennies, money is money. The police cannot arrest you for that.
