Matthew Mokanyk, of Traverse City, Michigan, found himself in a legal dispute with his landlord, Powerhouse Gym. (He was leasing office space from the gym.) According to AP reports, the court ordered Mokanyk to pay Powerhouse Gym $1,853.87, to cover the cost of carpeting damaged by Mokanyk and his employees. Well Mokanyk paid all right - in pennies. 185,387 pennies, to be exact. In case you are wondering, they weighed over a thousand pounds - they had to be unloaded off a truck by forklift.

Follow-up... Norm Schaub, the owner of Powerhouse Gym, didn't really mind receiving payment in pennies -- he is an avid coin collector.
