Can they refuse to accept pennies as legal tender? And If you have a free checking account (and you don't pay for checks) you could send them lots and lots of checks (which they have to process). Also, if banking regulations haven't changed, you can write a check on most anything provided that name, date, bank name, payee and amount are there. I recollect people doing it on watermellons, fish and other items. Of course I don't recommend doing any of these things :). Glenn Tenney
