Absolutely love it!

......only later to be encapsulated as the "Sic Semper Tyrannis Hoard"....
Hence the wheelbarrows?
Now what's he going to do with 5 wheelbarrows?
I hope they make him wait while they count them slowly.

This could backfire if one of the DMV employees is a collector and spots a 1969-S DDO in there.
I hope there was no one else behind him in line!

Don't one cent coins have limited legal tender status? If so, the DMV should accept only the amount that is legal tender. Stunts like this should be discouraged.
LOL ....Lucky they didn't refuse the pennies
This case from a few years ago came to mind, but it looks like they had to accept the cents anyway.

how is it that people like this are viewed as heroes???
I'm guessing that this fool was far more inconvenienced than the DMV clerk who has to count them. Agree that this fool is no hero.

I see misuse of USPS boxes ??
It says right on the side 'for official use only'.
They also say "Maximum penalty for misuse of postal property $1000 fine and 3 years imprisonment [18 USC 1707]"

They probably had this guy count them.

This is a tired stunt that has been done and re-done over the years by the disgruntled and unoriginal.

I wonder if the MVA has a coin counting machine or if they can get the bank that handles their accounts to mechanically count them. I can't imagine they will attempt to count them by hand.

Jerk.
I couldn't make out what his beef was - not sure it was legit.
I would have liked to do the same thing a few years ago.
Had a double jet-ski trailer stolen.
It was finally recovered and I had 2 days to pick it up.
When I went to pick it up, there were 2 stolen jet skis on it so the police wouldn't release the trailer to me.
It wracked up $1100 in fines while I wracked my brains and lost sleep trying to figure out what to do.
Sometimes bureaucrats need to be taught what they are doing to people.
Idiot
He inconvenienced no one except the people who had nothing to do with his issue.

AND I fully agree with

And to me the whole episode seems 'staged' somehow. For some type of publicity or "youtube" views.
Only my opinion.

The star of the video mumbled something about their "foyer" request being denied. Then having to file a lawsuit against the state of Virginia because they didn't turn over some docs to DMV....which caused this guy to waste time to unravel the mess. So what the heck is a "foyer" or "4 year" request? Is that a 4 yr registration?
Virginia-ese for FOIA.

I think that "foyer" is "FOIA" which stands for Freedom Of Information Act which is a law that requires the government to turn over any document or information (with some exceptions) to citizens that request them.

That was my first thought.... Before you pull a stunt like that and then put it all over the world on video, you need to make sure your house is clean first.

We are very observant. Something is not right with this.
Idiots [ or perhaps very rash people] don't think before they act.

Back in the early '70's when I lived in Barbados, a friend indicated a confirmed bachelor friend was going to get married.... Myself and another friend bet him $20 that he would not ..... Well, he did... so we paid our debt to the mutual friend in pennies (the English type since it was the legal tender there). I still have the photograph of him with the satchel full....Cheers, RickO

SO TRUE!
At the end of his shift, a worker who worked in a diamond mine would leave with a wheelbarrow full of dirt. The guards always searched it and never found anything. Finally someone asked what he was doing and he replied, "don't tell anyone, but I'm stealing wheelbarrows."
Chances are they were unsearched for varieties.
Looks like an example that could be used for the argument for a cashless society.
Or elimination of the 1 cent coin.?

His beef with the Virginia DMV is found here:
https://www.marketslant.com/articles/watch-man-pays-dmv-fine-300000-pennies
Supposedly, all he wanted was to inquire which of his four DMV addresses he must register his son's newly purchased car, and got a run around. What's new?
My brother gave my sons the Moped he bought in 1976 which sat in my parents shed the past few decades. I paid $350 to bring the thing back to life in 2009. The DMV here requires a title in order to register, which for mopeds were not required here in the 1970s...Went to 3 DMV offices and called the state DMV, filled out a 15 page form, talked with 2 supervisors, provided all the information they requested, and still couldn't register. Didn't have a bill of sale. ("Maybe you can call the company?" Are you kidding?!!!) Provided a notarized letter from my brother, still couldn't register. Gave up, much to my boys' disappointment, leaving it to sit in my garage.
Fast forward to 2015...with my second son heads to school in Michigan; we bring it out there hoping that he can get it registered there. Son goes down to DMV, fills out a simple form, just provides the serial number, registers, gets his license plate, and is off in less than an hour. (and I paid another $200 to get the thing running well again). Now that it's legal in Michigan, all I have to do if he eventually brings it back to NJ is go to the DMV with the Michigan documentation.
American bureaucracy, blech!
The DMV sucks.

NJ sucks. I live there. Unwillingly.

Being a Virginia tax payer, I would love for him to be charged a counting fee for the intentional inconvenience, so that the rest of us don't need to pay it. His target is DMV, but they are all being paid for their time, and the rest of us suffer a lower level of service cause they are busy counting pennies.
Doesn't impress me one bit.

His time is worth money too. The Virginia government is doing you, the tax payer, a disservice by being such an unorganized bureaucracy . They are the ones that are sucking your wallet.

Really? I get a notice in the mail that I need to renew my registration. I go to their web site, enter my VIN, pay online, and the new sticker comes in the mail. Maybe they are not such an unorganized bunch as you say.
Exactly.
