			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2008-12/pennies.jpg" width="150" height="172" class="imageleft">Frank Gilberti thought that his traffic ticket was &quot;non-cents.&quot; He noticed that the Bloomfield, New Jersey, municipal court accepts cash to pay the fine, so he decided to pay with real cents: $56 in pennies!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when he got into more trouble:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&quot;I went to the bank and got $56 worth of rolled pennies and went down to the court house and they refused to take it. They had told me to bring cash. I was under the assumption this was cash.&quot;</em></p>
<p><em>Non-cents? Not really. Pennies are legal tender. In fact, at the courthouse WCBS-TV found a sign saying cash is accepted. That&#8217;s why the Nutley resident said he fought back, calling the court and convincing workers there to take his pennies.</em></p>
<p><em>But the 22-year-old said there was a condition &#8212; that he write his driver&#8217;s license number on each roll. &quot;I simply asked them if I would have to do just this if I were handing in $56 bill. Would I have to write my driver&#8217;s license number on each bill? They had no response,&quot; Gilberti said.</em></p>
<p><em>And even more shocking he said: &quot;Then I found out there was a warrant out for my arrest.&quot; </em></p>
