There are a bunch more videos of people paying with pennies, but these at least got a little chuckle out of me. And contrary to popular belief, no individual, business, or government agency is required to take pennies. Only the currency (bills) says they are "legal tender", but even though pennies are still legal tender, nobody has to take them as payment.  "Legal Tender" only means that it MAY be used to pay debts.  There are no federal or state laws or regulations, requiring any person or entity to accept any coin or currency as payment.  I could start a business and take payments in waffles if I wanted, but I might not get many customers.  Money is there for one purpose, and one purpose only: CONVENIENCE.  If it's not convenient for you, then you won't want to, and don't have to accept it.  If you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe Snopes. The funniest part about some of those videos is that the people actually accepted the pennies as payment!  They should have told them to come back with a more convenient form of payment.
