<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7307305, member: 103207"]I know what the law says that they are legal tender but, by paying a traffic ticket with pennies you could open yourself to being accused of insulting the court. It wouldn't take much to have a judge rule you in contempt of court because you just insulted the court. However, I don't know much about the NJ court system but where I'm from you don't pay a fine in a court room setting. Your told what you have to pay and then given a period of time to make the payment. You may have to pay the fine that day or you could be give a week to pay the fine so if you paid a fine with pennies in most cases you pay it at the clerks office. And all you did is give someone poor bugger in the clerks office a lot of extra work because now they have to count every penny. The cop that gave you the ticket isn't the one suffering thru counting every penny. He or she may not even know how you paid your ticket. So if you were trying to get even with the cop you didn't.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the guy receiving his last paycheck in pennies there hast to be more to that story.
