This is a debt he already owes this towing company money. They loaned him a tow and are using his car as collateral on the loan. Think about it. Now if the same towing company refused to accept pennies for a tow that you requested they would be well within their rights.

Pennies, like any other form of coin or paper money, are indeed legal tender for all debts according to federal law (unlike foreign gold, silver, etc.)

However, this does not mean that a business has to accept them.  As private entities, that have the right to demand particular forms of payment (i.e. "we don't accept credit cards")

In this case, the man should have been able to pay in pennies, provided that there was no written policy or display that stated beforehand that pennies were not an acceptable form of payment.

The reason that this guy got arrested and charged with disorderly conduct isn't because he attempted to pay in pennies.  Regardless of how frustrated he was with the situation, throwing the coins on the counter and demanding that they be counted isn't the most orderly way that he could have handled the situation.

I've paid an unscrupulous towing company in dollar bills and change before (for a $150 charge).  I knew I was giving them a hard time, but I wasn't being belligerent about it-- just handled the situation as I would any other business transaction.

Maybe you are right... I'll leave it as that. I am not a lawyer so I see it one way, maybe I am not seeing it the right way:shrug:

I still think I am right :tinfoil:
