That carries a fine of as much as $140. Or 14,000 pennies.

LOL, I hope he does it again.

Campbell says the incident upset staff because pennies were strewn about the counter and floor, and West's action served "no legitimate purpose."

Police later issued the 38-year-old West a citation for disorderly conduct.

No legitimate purpose? He's paying his damn bill. Of course it was a legitimate purpose. YOU just didn't like the way he went about it. If they fine him, he should pay THAT in pennies also. And if he's taken to court, he should ask when the penny was no longer considered a valid American currency.

The guy is a prick! Even banks accept only a cetain number of penny coins. It’s been that way forever. I you have lots of pennies, nickels, dimes, or any other coins they have to be rolled!

Last week, at the local pump-n-munch, a youngster was purchasing an energy drink and a candy bar with mostly pennies.

I was next in line as the flustered clerk was counting out the cash.

I spied what I believed to be an old penny and I bought the penny from the till.

1913...San Fran mint.

Seems the issue isn’t that he paid in pennies, it’s that he made a mess & ruckus in the process.

One thing to set a box of pennies on the counter.
Another to open the box and dump them all over the counter, ranting about how unfair XYZ is.

Didn’t Larry Flynt try to pay off a fine to the Supreme Court in pennies in the Falwell case?

I had a man do that to me at a P.O. window. He had a C.O.D. and wanted to write a check, can't take checks.

But he's a Dr. of the town, doncha know that?, too bad, can't take a check, need cash.

He left in a big huff, and came back with about $350 in $1 dollar bills. Well, he had to stand there while I counted out VERY, VERY,very, slowing. Pissed him off again. lol. I love Gotcha moments.
