Most people don’t like dealing with pennies---so imagine the horror as a man paid for a fine with 22,000 of them.

Brett Sanders of Frisco, Texas, paid a speeding ticket with thousands of the 1-cent coins, which was captured in a dramatic video.

The buckets he used to carry the coins had the slogans, “Policing for profit” and “Extortion money.”

“I’m not a big fan of extortion,” Sanders said in the clip, which was posted on YouTube. “I was convicted by a jury for driving 39 in a 30 and was subject to $212 at the barrel of a gun.”

He is seen filling up the buckets with pennies using a shovel before hauling them down to a clerk to pay the fine.
