Not_you17 tells us more.
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.

On what grounds?
Dude no offence but you seriously deserve it, next time try quarters or dimes cause then you can actually get away with it, with out getting arrested.
revenge for what? you got a ticket for your screw up. ydi
In all honesty I'd have done pretty much the same thing. Except getting the parking ticket. However, some rules are just too stupid to respect.

this is a BS fml. Pennies are legal tender for all debts public and private. And that is federal law, just look up on YouTube "8800 pennies"... now that is how it is done!

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.
