Man pays $6,500 bill with pennies after finding a big enough bank vault Updated: Tuesday, 15 Mar 2011, 8:04 AM EDT Published : Tuesday, 15 Mar 2011, 8:01 AM EDT MIRA MESA, Calif. (CNN/XETV) - Ben Franklin once said a penny saved is a penny earned, but counting 650,000 pennies is just a pain. A California man created a bit of a problem for a company when he decided to pay a big bill with a lot of coins. theirry Cahez is the owner of Opera Desserts in Mira Mesa. On Monday, he loaded his delivery van with 650,000 pennies, enough to pay a $6,500 credit card bill. But according to Cahez, no one wanted to accept the payment. "Different time, different branches... and they all send me away. Very bad attitude," he said. He says he was told to roll the coins, but, "I brought them back and now they're rolled and they still don't want them. Does my, does my pennies stink?" he asked. A Chase Bank spokesman tells San Diego 6 it has nothing to do with any odor, just space. The payment crisis was eventually resolved by sending Cahez to another branch with a bigger vault.
