Indiana Resident Pays 12,000 dollars in Poperty Taxes in 1 Ones and Change

[ls317]

So he paid the bill on Monday in change and $1 bills -- all $12,656.07 of it.
"I did it so people can physically see what $12,000 is," said Malchow, who noted that amount included taxes on his home, his Wheeling Avenue business Outfitter and his rental properties.
Malchow was one of the organizers of the July 26 "Jam the Downtown" tax protest. He said on Monday that paying his tax bill this way was intended as a similar demonstration to drive home the point of how high local property taxes had gone. "It's putting me in a financial bind," he said.
When people pay such bills by check or by an escrow account through the bank, taxpayers might not notice the amount of the bill as directly, Malchow said to explain his reasoning. "When you pay in cash, you have a tendency to feel that pain a little more."
On a purely practical level, Malchow had to plan ahead to pull it off.

1. I did close to the same thing once...

I got what I thought was a completely BS ticket, and I paid it in quarters. 400 of them. The clerk was none too happy when I showed up to pay it.
