My Daily - Can you really pay off your credit card using nothing but pennies? 'Morning Express' host Robin Meade chronicles the story of a California man whose offer to pay a $6,500 credit card debt in pennies was initially refused. Footage shows the man unloading crates filled with 650,000 rolled pennies from a truck as he explains, "My credit card is due today and I have all my pennies in the truck... Money is money isn't it?" After the bank wouldn't accept the pennies the first time, he rolled them and brought them back. "So, does my pennies stink?" he asks. Chuckling at the apparent prankster, Meade reports, "Chase Bank told our affiliate that it had nothing to do with any odor, the bank just didn't have the storage space. So the man was sent to another bank that had a larger vault."
No, dickhead, money is not money. Those pennies are frigen useless, going to cost the bank more to convert them to actual cash that normal, non smug assholes, carry around. The bank should have just flat out denied you.
I'm so sick of these clowns popping up every few months trying to pay things off in ridiculous denominations (most recently that idiot kid that tried to pay his tuition in $1 bills). It's not original, it may be the easiest way into the news, but it's not original and I hope deep inside, your soul is dying just a little bit knowing that.
