Bob Wilson bought his son a 30 year old dirt bike and took it to a local motorsports store owned by Karl Stepen for repair. Five months later he finally got the bike back, and it stopped working shortly after that. So he took it back, and after a few more months took it to another shop for repair. Repairs cost $900 so Wilson sued for what he had paid to Stepen.
A judge awarded him $335. Stepen paid him with 33,500 pennies "to show his contempt for Wilson." "We paid him in legal U.S. currency."
Where do you get 33,500 pennies?
How much does 33,500 pennies weigh?

US Coinage
Penny Standard weight 2.5 grams
Nickel Standard weight 5.0 grams
Dime Standard weight 2.268 grams
Quarter Standard weight 5.670 grams
That means the pennies weighed about 185 pounds
Wouldn't expect Scott to be able to do that kind of math
