Charlie Sheen Pays Doctor Bill in Nickels

This story is so goddamn good, we don't even think we need to make jokes about it. So here it is: Charlie Sheen pays a $380 doctor bill in nickels. According to TMZ (via Celebitchy):

Dr. Peter Waldstein, a Bev Hills pediatrician, has treated Charlie and Deniseís two kids in the past. Charlie was pissed that the doc was immunizing the kiddies, because he doesnít believe in it. Charlie sent Waldstein a letter, demanding that he no longer treat the kids, but the Dr. fired his own letter back saying he would treat them if they needed medical attention, no matter what.

So, there was this outstanding $380 bill that Charlie paid by messenger today. It was a big box filled with $380, all in nickels. By our calculations thatís 7,600 nickels.

Weíre told the Dr. is donating the loot to the March of Dimes.

Charlieís rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, ìDr. Waldstein should spend more time treating his patients than leaking stories to TMZ.î Rosenfield adds, ìMaybe Dr. Waldstein would like to be featured in John McCainís next television commercial [famous for being famous].î

For the record, weíre not saying who gave us the story.

Oh, we really, really hope that Charlie does something to piss off his Two and Half Men bosses and they utilize this screw you tactic to pay his $800,000 salary. 16 million nickels is bound to be mighty heavy. We hope Charlie's got the biceps to handle it.

    In case you're considering this, last I knew, more than 24 of any denomination of coin (except dollars) is not considered legal tender. So the Doc didn't have to accept it.

    On the other hand, I'm surprised Chuck didn't pay in singles. Lord knows he must keep a few thousand on hand just for stripper emergencies.

    @gerbil:
    That isnt true. Reread what u wrote, that doesnt make sense!

    Law varies state to state.

    Genrally a store doesnt have to accept more than 100 pennies…bc its tedious to count pennies.

    Ive never heard of a rule for nickels, dimes, & quarters.
