Thirry Chahez loaded 650,000 pennies in his vehicle and drove to a local Chase Bank in an attempt to pay his credit card bill that was due on Monday.
"Money's money isn't it," Chahez said. "Different time, different branches and they all send me away and have a very bad attitude."
Initially, Chahez was told he needed to roll the coins, and he said he has tried to make the payment for days.
"I brought them back, and now they're rolled and they still don't want them," Chahez said. "Does my pennies stink?"
Chahez was sent to a different branch with a bigger vault to make his payment.
Chahez says he is upset with his bank over a refinance he could not get and other charges and fees on his credit card.

I was totally ready to take this guy's side, but then I saw that he was French. Fuckin' French guys, always trying to be ironic. When I first saw the headline, I thought he was a guy that had been saving pennies for his entire life. That would've been cool, some dude pays his credit card bill with his spare change, great story. Instead we got this douche driving up with a van full of pennies, looking for publicity for his stupid company. Your pennies don't stink Pierre, you do. I do wonder how this guy managed to get all these pennies, though. I don't think banks usually keep 650,000 on hand.
I hate pennies. Pennies should've gone out of style with powdered wigs. What a waste of time. We should completely eliminate them from circulation. Doesn't it cost more than 1 cent to make a penny? Here is my solution to the penny problem, make all prices divisible by 5 cents. But what about when tax is added? Simple, what you do is round price totals up or down to the nearest 0 or 5. Say you buy some snacks, and your total is $5.31. You would just round down to $5.30. Buy a six-pack for $7.57? Round up to $7.60. All prices ending in 1, 2, 6, and 7 you round down. Prices ending in 3, 4, 8, and 9, you would round up. Just think of the savings. I should be the Secretary of the Treasury.
