What's one way to get your jollies while paying a disputed bill? Satisfy the debt with pennies -- lots of them.



Or maybe not. A Vernal, Utah, man faces a charge of disorderly conduct for paying a $25 medical bill with 2,500 pennies, according to police. "After asking if they accepted cash, (Jason) West dumped 2,500 pennies onto the counter and demanded that they count it," Vernal assistant police chief Keith Campbell told the Deseret News. "The pennies were strewn about the counter and the floor."


West left after staffers at the health clinic threatened to call the police, who later wrote a citation for disorderly conduct, police said. The maximum fine is $140.

Rest story

I guess he'll be paying this bill with 14,000 pennies.
 
The title is incorrect, but that is just to sensationalize folks to read the story.

He was cited for Disorderly Conduct and not for paying the bill in pennies.

I was wondering about that one myself b/c I didn't know one could be cited for paying a bill...whether it was in all coins or not...he still paid it.
