Insurance Company Pays Man $21,000 With Buckets Of Loose Change

Money is money — but it’s a whole lot easier to receive a bunch of it with a check or even cash, than entirely in loose change. That’s how one California man said an insurance company paid him $21,000 in a legal settlement, dropping off more than 16 five-gallon buckets filled with coins.

The 73-year-old man filed a lawsuit in 2012 against an employee of the insurance company, claiming he’d been physically assaulted, reports NBC Los Angeles.

After the two parties reached a settlement, the insurance company paid up: The man’s attorney says eight employees of the insurance company showed up to his office in a van bearing five-gallon containers full of coins, and left them in the waiting room.

How childish of the Insurance company! Considering the man has just had hernia surgery if he hurts himself due to the insurance companies choice of payment, he could sue them!

i would have made them count it... right then and there...

if they wouldn't i would say they were $15,000 short.

and not give them a receipt until they counted it. all of it.

twice to make sure.

In all of that, there are probably some collectibles and some silver. He might have made out better than 21K$.
