Man's final paycheck comes in form of 91,500 oil-covered pennies dumped in his driveway

Maybe somehow by random acts of happenstance, the driveway for A OK Autoworks should get covered in piles of various forms of animal excreta.

He could have filed dumping charges against the employer since they documented their dumping/pollution with a pay slip.

He can sue the gentleman in small claims court, and almost certainly get damages for the time it takes to clean and deposit the money.

Even after he cleans them, he still has to roll them all to be acceptable to a bank — thats 1830 rolls of pennies. More likely, he dumps it into Coinstar machine and takes a 12% loss.

Right, I forgot about the crazy interest rates with CoinStar…unless you’re willing to be paid in gift cards, I think. Which, the employee should not be forced into that choice.

But my bank lets us bring in loose change and they have their own sorting machine. They don’t charge interest. Of course, the lobbies aren’t open now, so I don’t know if that would even be an option.

Great idea. Like we used to do with coffee cans for ice cream :slight_smile:
Instead of making ice cream, we’re making money, kiddos!

Probably 5 years ago my bank got rid of theirs and suggested coin star. The next bank I went to never had one and also suggested coin star.

I’m thinking a mesh dish/sports bag and a dishwashing cycle. If no dishwasher, an overnight soak in a #3 washtub with a good rinse in the morning.

Though if my math is correct, this is over 500 lbs of pennies. It’ll take a while no matter what.

Wouldn’t him finding one of these be ironic?

He doesn’t even have to offer a discount so big, because he has a slip from A OK informing how much it is (or should be).

Pantsed a female employee in the lobby?
Unfuck this motherfucker.

Certainly here in Australia, coins are only legal tender up to approximately 20 coins worth (e.g. back when we had 1c pieces, they stopped being legal tender at 20c). After that the receiver can refuse to accept them.

Sounds like Walker hasn’t actually been in a fight, judging how he thinks he’s so tough. Life finds a way, asshole. Life finds a way.

I’ve used these in the UK, but found that often if I was taking in a few hundred £ the machine would fill up part way through and I’d have to take a lot of coins back another day. I suspect it may only take a thousand or so of each kind of coin
