Man Repays Insurance Money With 4 Tons of Coins
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.
The businessman says he’s upset that an appellate court ordered him to repay the money from a wrongful death suit. He says he decided to fork over the quarters in protest.
He tells WSIL-TV that he chose the coins because: “I couldn’t do it in pennies.”
