See, I've never like this sort of stuff regardless of whether it's legal or not. Mostly because it's never done because someone just has "too many pennies" or whatever quasi-legitimate reason gets bandied about but rather because someone has some fashion of grudge against whoever is about to get a ton of pennies dumped on them.

Now, if this ever happened to me, I'd probably be a crank right back and make him count every single penny to "prove" that he's paying me truthfully.

"no no no. I do believe there's 5,000 dollars in pennies there sir but, you must understand, I need to be SURE that there is and, no, you can't leave while I have my slowest person here count them all. Also, they tend to lose count after 50 and can't write so...you may be here for a while."

Actually....

This might explain how we see wheaties in circulation. Roll-hunters who buy all those $200 wheat rolls with a 1909S showing on one side and a VDB showing on the other have 48 common circulated wheaties they have nothing to do with. So paying things like $5 parking tickets sounds like a great use, and it makes us happy every time we find one in change!

Now I know what to do with them! It will be my annual donation to the coin collecting community. :D

And TO BE CLEAR I'm not disparaging people that buy those rolls. I'm not only the President of the Wheat Roll Hunters Club for Silly People, I'm also a client. ; )

Isn't it unsanitary to scatter nasty pennies wherever they were? And the labour to pick up these pennies and count them......this poor man should've seen it coming.
