That is THE dumbest thing I have ever heard of!!! Banks are getting so ridiculous these days! They won't take any large amounts of change unless they're rolled, they charge you a fee to use your OWN money when using your ATM card in a store as ATM as opposed to a charge card.

They should be ashamed of themselves!! I say either take all the pennies to a copper place to see how much he could get for them, or, if he REALLY wants a John Deere, take his pennies there and put them as a down payment.

No wonder people stuff money in their mattresses!!
