It never dawned on me at the time just how heavy this was going to be. And that was when they were packed nicely in their wrappers, all stacked in rows.
That wasn't good enough for me though. I had to open up these rolls and pour them all into a pillow case. Now this shit was good and heavy. I lug it out to the truck and head to downtown Torrance.
Now downtown Torrance is pretty old, so no real tall buildings, but few elevators either. I cruise by the address to discover it is a two story building, with their office upstairs, no elevator and no parking spot within a block.
Long story short [if not too late], I get the pillowcase of money up to the office. The guy refuses it, gets his partner out there as a witness and suggests [rightfully] that the Judge probably isn't going to find it too amusing.
Needless to say I ended up dragging those coins back to the truck and eventually to the bank . . . and I sent the lawyer a check.

I just don't get shit like that. Why the fuck do they even make coins if we can't use them everywhere?
It's bad enough our dollars are worthless pieces of paper backed by nothing, a Federal Note... lol... coins are the only thing worth a damn, as they are actual metals. Madness.
Stories like that piss me off.
