A citizen is angered when his car is towed and impounded. The tow truck company had no idea what was coming to them. Eight thousand and eight hundred pennies. That’s right, its legal tender and no matter where you use it they better take it.

” I live about 15-20 miles away and it was a fun walk. But if these people are going to charge me 88 dollars to get my car back. I have no choice but to pay them the 88 dollars but, they have no choice but to take it in pennies because its legal tender”

At first they were refusing the pennies as a way to pay for the car. The money is legal tender and they could do nothing about it besides accept the money. Due to the fact that they were refusing the police were then involved.

This is going to be a hell of a day

After the arrival of the police the company had no choice but to take the pennies as a legal way to pay for the impounded car. The citizen happily made his way pick up his car. I bet they’ll think twice about impounding his car again.
