    I laughed when I read this article, and thought I would share it. link attached (and I hope that satisfies the rules regarding internet articles). And hopefully, in the correct forum.

    proably could have gotten away with it if he did it in a different manner and wasnt so rude. Maybe if he rolled it? lol

    They may have accepted his 2500 cents had he been nice about it rather than pouring the coins out on the counter and the floor and demanding that they "count it".

    I wonder how he will pay his $140 fine.

    lol if the state is smart they will drop it.... or else face the wrath of a man with 28000 pennies. after all, if the circle continues he'd have a legitimate claim of harrassment ;)

    i agree. if they were rolled, or even in unrolled bags labeled as $10 or $15, he could have still made his point. dumping them and letting them spill onto the floor is uncalled for. just my opinion.
