In my country, cashiers have the right to refuse receiving payment in bills and coins of too high and low denominations. So, these guys would've had to go to a post office, a bank or some friendly stores and exchange their pennies for dollars.
Not to mention that calling the police for a stupid prank would most likely land them another fine. Kudos to the police officers here who took the waste of their time remarkably well.

It's not that the pennies aren't legal tender, it's just that paying such a big fine with them makes the process of counting them unnecessarily difficult and slow. You'd get the same reception when trying to pay a bus fee, a stamp or ice cream with 500-dollar bills, regardless if it's legal tender in the state or not. That being said, if the cashier was told by the police officers to take the money, she really didn't have to keep refusing.

What is considered legal tender in the US. In Canada the Canada Currency Act specifies limits on what is considered legal tender for each denomination. For pennies the limit is 25 cents meaning that that is the maximum number of pennies anyone is required to accept. Probably the main reason for this is to prevent douchebaggery like this. When it comes to parking you takes you chances then you pay your money.

If it was me, when he said you can count it if you want, I would have said OK but I'm slow come back tomorrow when I'm finished to get your car.
