Default Ohio Man buys Chevy with Small Change

This guy in Ohio has never used paper money. He went into a Chevy Dealership and payed for a new utility truck with coins. The best bit is how much he paid for the Chevy.

Isn't that a great story! I love that the family think the most amazing thing is that he bought a new truck at all but I think that paying $8,000 of the truck in coins is pretty good too!

You wouldn't be able to do that in the UK!

I guess he needed his old pickup to carry in the change!
