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.

I would have viewed you paying in pennies as childish and harassing, too.

Um.. You parked somewhere that got you a ticket, so then you decided to get revenge on the poor bank teller, who neither issued the ticket nor parked your car.. Then got fined. Sounds like karmic justice to me.

If they don't want to accept pennies, then don't make them. It cost more than a penny to make a penny anyway. FYL

You wouldn't have gotten a parking ticket in the first place unless you parked illegally. Then you get mad at THEM for enforcing parking regulations that YOU chose to ignore.Then you try to punish them for your own stupidity? I think someone needs to grow up.

If they where rolled they have to accept it if there not they can decline to accept so next time roll them it's not as bad bc you can ask the bank to do it and just give them to the people you where trying to give in the first place oh don't forget to slice them so after a couple of mine it breaks
