What about 5000 checks for $.01 apiece?
KY3's broadcast version of this story included a couple who in protest tried to pay their pit bull indulgence with pennies. They were not allowed to do so, and then were ticketed for not paying the indulgence.
Apparently, paying with pennies is against the law.
I wonder, is the law penny-specific? Could they (assuming they have free checking) pay with 5000 one-cent checks? And wouldn't that be more of a headache for the Springfield bureaucrats than 5000 pennies? How about 1000 nickels? Or 995 nickels and 25 pennies?

I can't prove it, but I distinctly remember hearing once that pennies are not considered legal tender.
I'm pretty sure I've heard on multiple occasions that they are only considered legal tender in quantities of 25 or less.
