- carlonchox911, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50Dugg for "Do you have change for a dollar?" at the end
- Sp0rAdiC, on 10/12/2007, -10/+56I deliver pizza, and let me just say that I hate people like you. Don't be an *****.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46This guy is a little too old for pranks like this?
lol i'm not ragging on him, it's hilarious.
ahahahha do you have change for a dollar LMAOOOO - Xageroth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42You're never too old to ***** around.
- killa62, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38aren't stamps legal tender?
- jamesgott, on 10/12/2007, -5/+31stfu. its legal tender. i paid a pizza hut guy in change one time. and that was like 19 dollars.
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15the guys expression was priceless
- orangekid13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9if stamps are legal tender you can cheat the gov by buying stamps at costco and paying with stamps... costco doesn't charge full face value for a roll of stamps
- SIRBERUS, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11From the mall video, to the hospital video, to this... im definitely bookmarking this guy.
On a side note, just a tip... its $14 to park at a beach near my house... but on hot days, when there is a long line of cars, a ziplock baggie full of pennies = a wave through. =D - SundayTrain, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9that would piss me off
- aptmunich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's why Germany has a law that states that cashiers only have to accept a maximum of 50 coins for a payment...
- jake8689, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7i love to pay a fee to use the highway that i paid with with my tax dollers and all
- nallelcm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9omg, I laughed at the end when he pulled out that dollar.
carlonchox911 beat me to it - grgt1994, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Are we allowed to make Kramer references anymore?
- mr_wej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Needleguy is right, just because it's legal tender doesn't mean you can't determine what type of payment (including which type of currency) you accept. Vending machines aren't mandated to accept pennies, nor are gas stations mandated to accept large bills after certain hours. Legal tender basically just means it legally can be used, doesn't mean everyone must take it.
- BleedingHeadKen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Let's see. The tollbooth collector gets paid regardless of whether he has one customer or 300 customers. The state gets the money and doesn't give a damn about people waiting behind. So all this guy is doing is making people wait who probably have better things to do than sit in traffic on a bridge, like get to work, or see their wife and children.
- KMye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This was new to me; I thought all cash and coin was legally mandated to be accepted by everyone. I'll have to stop being such a prick when someone doesn't take a benji.

BTW - This guy's video's are okay, but I fully side with the honker behind him. - krazikamikaze, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Or drive someone who's having an anaphylactic fit to the hospital...
Yes this is the same guy as http://digg.com/videos/people/Guy_films_himself_having_an_anaphylactic_fit - SIRBERUS, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8That's what I hate most about inflation... legal tender change makes you an "*****" if you don't have enough time to go to the bank and turn it into paper money.
Where's the love for the change? =( - joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Any reason why you quoted that again? Because a quick look up will show you that several people already mentioned that line. If you liked it as well, you digg up THEIR comment.
What you did is the same as some one resubmitting a story on digg rather than pressing the "digg" button. - UKMusicFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't know about the US but in the UK legal tender has limits - for example more than 20 pence in 1 penny coins is not legal tender. Most countries have a law like that to make sure people with jars of pennies don't waste everyone's time.
The guy's an idiot, all he does is hold up the line and annoy the attendant. What's the point? If you're going to prank someone then make it a figure worth lampooning, not just some ordinary Joe in a tollbooth. - jamesgott, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5lol you are such a tool. who cares how old the man is. and if you have a problem, then why are you clicking, and then clearly wasting your own time with writing a comment on how you hate it?
- KiDD420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I would gladly pay tolls if all the roads in my city would stop breaking my car!
- XZanatos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't know whether this applies to all government agencies, but I remember back in my highschool days (8 years ago) they had a sign saying they did NOT have to accept more than $0.75 payment per day in pennies or nickles. So YES pennies are legal tender, but they have rules for people being arses too.
On another note, considering that the metal in pennies is worth something like $0.04, the joke could be said to be on they guy trying to spend them. - borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6what an *****
- milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So wait, you think the guy is an *****, yet you want him to crash his car because you don't like his behavior?
smooooth - kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Uhhh. . . is the text "legal tender for all debts" somehow ambiguous?
- qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that is why you save your pennies for the gas station. pump it first, then pay with pennies. i would like to see them get the gas back if they don't accept the pennies.
- jonmcarroll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is like the 3 great vid this guy put out this week. check out his other stuff its sweet.
-also in Canada it is illegal to pay someone in more than 50c in pennies, and stamps are legal tender. - headband, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the guy should have gave him change....in pennies
- adidos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2In Buffalo, NY when they raised the tolls on the thruway, a local radio station urged everyone to pay the new tolls in pennies. Instead of reducing the tolls, it just created a lot of traffic at the toll booths. :(
- NeedleGuy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5The toll collector should have just refused the pennies.
There is no federal law mandating that a person or organization must accept currency or coins for payment for goods and/or services (snopes.com).
/The more you know... - XStatic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lame until the look on the toll collector's face when he asked where he could get change for a dollar...
- TomS64, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Kramer tried to pay for his Calzone with pennies:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mPGdZYsONjs - Jrr6415sun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love Nalts, he's so funny
- vdubski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's not true, if you noticed because of that radio station the tolls are now gone. They saved me $1.50 a day.
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@jamesgott
Did you ever get pizza from the same place again after that? Because if you did I can guarantee it had ***** in it. - EvilSpudBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Please don't repeat a comment that someone else already said, because in my opinion that would be analagous to submitting a story on digg that someone else already submitted.
How do you feel now that you've ruined Digg? I want a refund.
And also, I loved that part at the end when he asked the guy if he had change for a dollar. - dougm68, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think ***** need anymore ideas. diggdown .
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"legal tender" just means it officially represents money
- dustyshadow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm pretty sure that in FL the tolls say no pennies.
- marzbar329, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I use Easy TAG..
- manatee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Subscribe to videos by Nalts ... you will not regret it! Dugg+++
- KublaKhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So this is the guy who's holding up all the traffic? Time for me to get IPASS...
- vspazv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1As someone that was recently stuck in a toll plaza line for over an hour I hope someone hits his car and leaves a sack of canadian coins to pay for the damage.
- chowderdick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1man, pissing idiots off is pretty funn
- eboulian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Agreed, he's got good stuff up, its pretty funny and entertaining.
In Canada, and anywhere you go, the retailer can refuse payment if they like. Doing so means the person in question cannot get the product they are buying from the retailer. In cases where the service is rendered before payment, then the retailer can still deny payment, however the retailer then forfeits the right to payment if he doesn't accept legal tender provided by the client.
Situations such as this, either the tollbooth accepts the pennies or lets him through for free. - FinalDoom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Generally, in states that even HAVE a toll, your tax dollars are used for other better things -- at least not as much goes toward highways as in the states that don't have a toll -- and the toll/gas tax pays for the roads. I don't mind paying when I'm visiting or living -- the roads in those states are a hell of a lot better than where there isn't a toll.
- robogobo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3no federal law? if they don't accept currency or coins, what else is there, credit cards? checks? you're an idiot. The fact that the Feds MINT and PRINT currency means that it must be accepted as LEGAL TENDER, especially by other government agencies.
