I had a purple porcelain pig, and I used the exact same trick with the knife to get out my money. I could never smash it.

x3 I’ve seen that video, Steve-o. That was amazing. Have you seen the others, where he pays for like, some really expensive jewelry, and then a fancy restaurant dinner? xDD I think the only guy that ever took his pennies was a carriage driver. It was $40, and however many pennies were in that bag, they must’ve been somewhat close.

Sorry for the double post

@MadDavid- I guess so, since the video clearly showed the back of the truck filled up to the brim with pennies.

@Chris- Couldn’t find any standard capacities, but according to Wikipedia
“The bed is usually constructed so as to accommodate a 4 ft (1.2 m) x 8 ft (2.4 m) sheet of plywood.”, so I guess it’s usually 4 ft x by 8 ft

The pig’s face is hilarious.

A good question is, can a standard pickup support the *weight* of $25,000 in pennies. I imagine Biff gets indestructible cars by neccessity.

I think a place can refuse to be paid in pennies, but they have to accept nickels and larger. Something about legal tender laws. But just looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems as though if the contract is signed and payment is due, then they’d have to accept pennies as payment.

@Chris: Maybe you could submit a reworded version of today’s Biff to car mags…. something along the lines of “401(k) too risky? Invest in a solid American car instead! *while stocks / companies last*”

No, it’s not a distortion. It is ILLEGAL to refuse money for goods. That is required for any money to be worth anything. What good is that piece of paper if you can’t exchange it for goods and services? Hotels refuse to rent rooms to people without credit cards, and if this were challenged, hotels would be beaten on.
