Makes you wonder what the $25 bill was all about in the first place. Course, pennies are legal tender.
Not that this is even hinted about in the article, but I wonder if a disorderly conduct conviction would cost him the right to own firearms?

If he offered legal tender in payment of the bill and they refuse to accept it, then he no longer owes the bill and gets to keep his pennies, if he can clean them all up.
