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.

You're right, since you've seen it before means it possibly can never happen again.

It is against FML rules to call an FML "fake." Besides, similar stories happen at different places, at different times.

Pennies is a currency it's legal tender they have to take it and they can't fine you for that. Nor arrest you

Well, they arrested him for something, apparently. And as much as the police get sued these days, I doubt they would violate any rights over pennies.
