JACKSON, Mich. -- A man who owes $270 for trash in his yard wants to pay with lots of pennies, but a Michigan city isn't taking the change. Brian McGonegal has tried to pay off his debt by making a series of $27 payments with 2,700 pennies. The city treasurer has rejected the coins. "It's not practical," Randy Wrozek said Tuesday. "This guy would come in every time at five minutes to five -- we close at five -- with a big sack full of change. We're not authorized for overtime down here."
