No lucky pennies here: Police have charged Jason West, an aggrieved medical patient in Vernal, Utah, with disorderly conduct. His alleged crime? Attempting to pay a disputed medical bill of $25 entirely in pennies. The story, reported in the Salt Lake City Deseret News, describes the "penny offense" this way: West, 38, did not believe he owed the medical clinic $25 but came in to pay the fee in person. He first asked the clinic staff if the facility accepted cash payments, and then dumped 2,500 pennies onto the counter and demanded that they be counted. But West apparently hadn't counted on the clinic calling the police; the arresting officer contended that West's protest served "no legitimate purpose." The charge carries a fine that can go as high as $140--and there's no word as yet on what currency West will use to pay it. West isn't alone in the ranks of penny protesters. A wise guy in Frederick, Maryland, showed up at the county clerk's office last summer with bags of cash to pay off his tax bill with $966.86 in change. And a New Jersey school district a few years back punished 29 students who paid for their $2 school lunches in pennies--possibly as a prank--with two-day detentions. After parents protested, the students were pardoned. The school explained that the use of the small change slowed down the lunch line. |

Just the other day I went to Mcdonalds and paid all in one dollars bills and two dollars in quarters and the bitch looked at me like she was about to have a nervous breakdown. lol Pennies should be discontinued though. They serve no purpose at all. |

Hell no all cash shouldn't be discontinued. I love having 100 dollar bills. They smell nice. Also, I like getting paid in cash money. When I open that sweet white envelope with that wad of cash. I get an erection every damn time. I dont believe in credit or debit cards. |

I am the opposite all I use is my debit card I very rarely have more than $10 cash on me. The only time I actually use cash is to give to my buddy when I go watch the UFC PPV's. Other than that it is useless to me. |

Having the bank hold your money for you doesn't feel right to me. I'm a control freak so that doesn't work for me. Now, that doesn't mean I'm against it. But I rather handle my own money. |

If you're going to be buzz before going to the bar then theres no point. If you're going to drink with a group of friends at home, then stay there. You're just inviting trouble by driving tipsy. |

You would die from alcohol poisoning if you spent $40 on alcohol in Tallahassee. Check this out haha http://www.bullwinklessaloon.net/Specials.htm That's how everywhere is in Tally. People are always amazed when they come. This one specific place even sells cards for $65 where you drink free 5 nights a week, never pay cover, never pay for parking from either June-January or January-August. |
