And that is why pennies are not considered legal tender

The nerve of them to refuse your payment in change! Its almost as if they didn't find you very funny!

well, you're a selfish jackass. i mean seriously, YOU parked your car inappropriately, got caught, and then decided to be an absolute cocksucker about the whole thing. did it ever occur to you that the clerk who was supposed to count those damn things had NOTHING to do with either the way in wich you parked your car OR the fact that a cop ticketed you? BUT apparently, that doesn't matter. all anyone should care about is that YOU were a jackass, YOU decided to make it worse, and now YOU want us to feel bad for YOU. and to everyone of you saying "money is money" well you've obviously never worked retail or customer service, and i PROMISE YOU, this kind of behavior is completely childish and inappropriate.

Uuummmm..that's really irritating because it's a legal tender and they can't refuse it. Stick it to the man >=D

So you have to pay a parking ticket but you want revenge? Why go for revenge on something that you did wrong? And 3,500 pennies... either way you're paying 35 dollars so why not just pay it and be over it? What was the point of "revenge?" This is all on you. Not only that but definitely seen a story exactly like this on yahoo news a while ago.

You deserve it. Never try to take "revenge" on the law for doing their job. You should've paid the fine as easily as possible and moved on with your life. If anything, rolled change would have been better and the heavy bulk of it could have been revenge enough. Except you would've had to carry that. And what did that clerk do to you? Think about it, you're doing your job, and some schmuck comes in and wants to pay his parking ticket in $35 worth of loose pennies. You have other duties to do, probably other people in line waiting for you to get to them. Paying with a bucket of pennies isn't revenge. It makes you look like a jerk.

Ok first of all for those of you getting confused, the bank DIDN'T call the cops. He put all 3,500 pennies into a bucket which means the bank gave him the pennies. Second of all although pennies are legal tender there is no law requiring that they be accepted - It's the same reason why nobody calls cops on establishments that don't accept $50/$100 dollar bills. He was likely sorted for something along the lines of disorderly conduct, or, more likely when the person receiving the payment refused to take the pennies the OP caused a shit fit about how the payment HAS to be accepted and the other person probably felt threatened.

In fairness nowhete is obliged to take more than 50 coins per transaction. You know better now.

Go to strip club with three crisp fifties, and ask for 147 of the nastiest, wettest ones they have. Sure you are out three bucks, but you will get to sniff those bills before you pay off your debt.

why would you get "revenge" for something that was your fault anyway?
