“He paid a $197 jaywalking ticket… in PENNIES. The clerk tried to refuse it. But here’s the truth: According to 31 U.S. Code § 5103, coins are LEGAL TENDER for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.

So if a government office declines legal tender, does that mean the debt is no longer owed? If payment is refused, the obligation should be void, right?

This isn’t just about pennies—this is about understanding your rights, questioning authority, and standing on law over legalease.”
