A man in Utah has been charged with disorderly conduct after he paid a medical fee with pennies.
The man paid a $25 dollar bill with no less than 2,500 pennies which he rudely dropped all over the counter and floor and demanded that the attendant counted them.
The attendant was upset about the man’s rude manner and inconsiderate behaviour. He is now facing a charge for disorderly conduct which could cost him $140…lets just hope he doesn’t pay this fine in pennies!
