(Throwing the thousands of pennies on the counter and insisting they be counted didn't win favor either.)
Paying with pennies was not the problem. The penny guy acting like a jerk by throwing coins on the floor and at people was the problem.

Almost every state in the United States has a disorderly conduct law Disorderly conduct is typically classified as a violation or misdemeanor for which you are arrested and released shortly after being issued the citation....
this is from the article.....
Police have charged Jason West, an aggrieved medical patient in Vernal, Utah, with disorderly conduct
the arresting officer contended that West's protest served "no legitimate purpose." The charge carries a fine that can go as high as $140

That's from a blogger's rewrite of the original Deseret News article here
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705373882/Police-cite-Vernal-man-accused-of-paying-bill-with-2500-pennies.html
The blogger put in the term "arresting officer" which does not exist in the original.
VERNAL — A Vernal man has been charged with disorderly conduct after police say he caused alarm when he paid for a disputed medical bill in pennies.
On May 27, Jason West went to Basin Clinic prepared to dispute an outstanding bill, according to Assistant Vernal Police Chief Keith Campbell. West, 38, apparently did not believe he owed the clinic the $25 it said he did.
“After asking if they accepted cash, West dumped 2,500 pennies onto the counter and demanded that they count it,” Campbell said. “The pennies were strewn about the counter and the floor.”
The incident upset clinic staff, said Campbell, adding that West's behavior served "no legitimate purpose."
Clinic staff told West they were calling police and he left the office. Officers caught up with West later and issued him a citation for disorderly conduct, an infraction, which carries a potential fine of $140.
The case will be heard in Vernal City Justice Court.
...paying fines or bills with cents shouldn't be a crime. but paying with PREZ BUCKS should!

How would you like it if someone owed you a lot of money and they just dumped a bunch of cents in your driveway or front yard?
