A Utah man has been cited for disorderly conduct after paying for a disputed medical bill with 2,500 pennies.

 

The Deseret News of Salt Lake City reports Jason West went to Basin Clinic in Vernal on May 27 prepared to dispute an outstanding $25 bill.

 

Assistant Vernal Police Chief Keith Campbell says that after asking staff members whether they accepted cash, West dumped 2,500 pennies on the counter and demanded that staff count them.

 

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

I wonder if any of the office staff like roll searching!

The guy wasn't cited for paying with cents---he was cited for disturbing the peace and causing a commotion. He sounds mentally disturbed.

If I had even a quarter the cents God gave a groat, I would have been a bell to refrain from casting my two-bits into the fray. Alas, my cents hit the shilling at about the level of the sheckles coinstraining my nickers.

At comic conventions, some people dress up like Batman, Supergirl ect... You guys are close to dressing up say, as a cent at coin conventions.
