Pennies were a nightmare for toll workers to haul away, especially when there were variously organized protests in select areas by paying tolls with only pennies during the pre-I-pass (EZ-Pass, etc.) days.

Whereas, the state DOT performs the maintenance, accounting, and hauling. So change may fall on unsympathetic ears. Another difference is the system wide change with more red tape as opposed to the more localized state efforts to deal with the same issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
