Listen to this articleMARION, Ill. (AP) – A southern Illinois man paid off a portion of a court-ordered legal settlement with nearly four tons of quarters packed into dozens of bags.
Harrisburg resident Roger Herrin was ordered to repay $500,000 in insurance money related to the 2001 death of his teenage son, who died in a car accident.
Herrin packed a third of the money – $150,000 – into 50-pound bags of quarters. They were unloaded from an armored truck and delivered to a Marion, Ill., law firm on Wednesday.
The businessman said he’s upset that an appellate court ordered him to repay the money from a wrongful death suit. He said he decided to fork over the quarters in protest.
He told WSIL-TV that he chose the coins because: “I couldn’t do it in pennies.”
