    Photurus pennsylvanica is the official state insect of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, Pennsylvanians call them “lightning bugs.”

    the mortgage final payment couldn’t happen in Australia or a lot of other countries. Even when Aussie land still used 1c coins, it was only legal tender to use a max of $10 worth at a time

    Currently, pennies are worth 2.2 cents in melt value. So he paid over twice what he had to.

    The IRS has taken the same stand. When a taxpayer tried to pay off his owed taxes with a wheelbarrow full of pennies, they said they weren’t legal tender and made him return with bills. Take a look at our coins. Nowhere does it say that it’s legal tender. Now, the bank may have been more lenient in accepting his final payment of $620 in pennies.

    Years ago I took a bag of pennies to the bank (back when they would count them for you) for them to deposit to my account. They later sent me a letter stating that two of the pennies stuck together and were counted as a nickel, resulting in a three cent error, for which they were debiting my account. The postage on the letter (as I recall) was 22 cents. Go figure.

    I’m going to Bleaklow Moorlands to bury my enemies. Y’know, if I ever have any.

    That’s just dumb, and the banks are legally not required to take a large payment in pennies. However money is money.

    The bank I deal with has a coin sorter/counter. It could handle a bushel of pennies in minutes.
