So what, the nickel payment BS has been around for years..Ask NASCAR..Rusty Wallace sent an armoured car full of nickels to pay a $10,000 fine..

@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.

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.
