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.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

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.

You guys are being hypocritical. I'm pretty sure if you were given a bucket of pennies for a set amount that someone owed to you, you would be mad... probably not enough to call the police but you understand my statement... hopefully.

Revenge for what? You're the one who got yourself a parking ticket. It's your own fault.

I would surmise that it was considered disorderly conduct. In this instance it's bull shit they need to prove the intent.

I don't know about how it is in different states, but usually It's their legal obligation to take that as payment. F them. you should be able to pay how you like!
