Lots of people have been frustrated with their bank lately, between the stingy credit, unwarranted foreclosures and generally difficult customer service. One man in Mira Mesa, California, got especially upset when his bank turned down his application to refinance his mortgage. The man, Thierry Cahez, had been a good customer, holding a credit card with the bank in addition to his mortgage.
But when he was rejected for his refi, Cahez decided to close out the balance on his credit card as well. To pay off the $6,500 balance, he amassed 650,000 pennies and drive them in his car down to the bank. At first, they refused to accept the pennies, but they are legal tender, after all, and eventually the bank found a vault large enough to hold them all.
And I'm sure Cahez felt pretty good about his deposit.
