Well as much as I hate "the man" LOL, he is kind of <<edited by Staff>>. But still, I dont think it deserves a warrent for an unpaid ticket, when he did infact try to pay. its not his fault the payment instructions where not specific enough. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of the court hearing is.
I can gaurentee one thing thought, I bet the courthouse where he tryed to pay the ticket will be putting up a sign saying no pennies.

I don't know what to think about this. The guy went to the bank and deliberately got $56 in cents. I guess if he felt he didn't deserve the ticket then that would be a good way to stick it to "the man" but I probably would have chose the dollar coins instead.

This seems to run contrary to the concept of pennies as legal tender. Isn't all American currency legal tender for all debts, public and private??? Just for that, I should pay my income taxes in pennies (after I take all the wheats out of course)

When I was younger I paid a $25.00 parking ticket with rolls of cents. The woman laughed and took the money.

Pennies are the coppery coins I spend, cents are the coppery coins I collect. To the uneducated they would appear to be very similar.

a Penny is a British denomination, a Cent is a US denomination. The US has never made a Penny so if anyone here collects Pennies they collect British coins not US coins. I think its funny that all the Large cents are almost always called Cents but as soon as they get smaller in size they are automatically called Pennies even though the name on the coin stayed the same

In Denmark we have a coin law that says "No one is obliged to accept, in one payment, more than 25 coins of each denomination" - roughly translated.
Perhaps they have met this guy?
