Well, I heard a story once of a student who brought in his entire year's tuition to the payments office of his school in pennies...in a large barrel on a trolley. The office refused his pennies and said they wouldn't spend their entire week counting them and that he should pay in a different fashion. Well... apparently according to some law, if you refuse payment in legal tender, the person is not obliged to pay you...not sure if this is true or not but may be worth researching. You could see if your school wants to count all those pennies.
