Does anyone know if I can pay my $3000 brokers fee in dimes? Just to show how much scorn I have toward this industry.
no one force you to use a broker, you can rent from many landlords with onsite leasing....
Kcarscaden, you didn't answer his question.
Technically, yes. Are you rolling them or just pulling a Kramer?
I've said it before...pay the trained seal in fish
Are dimes and pennies money?

So you think he should have done the job for free? Is that it? Otherwise, I'm surprised you didn't just do the legwork yourself. There are plenty of no-fee apartment out there. Your choice to use a broker.

The Coinage Act of 1965 makes all US coins legal tender for all debts. However, this means the US Federal Reserve must honor the coins, which effectively means you can deposit coins into your bank. Unfortunately for you, the Act does not prevent people from legally refusing to accept pennies or any specific coin or denomination of paper money. That's why businesses can get away with refusing to accept $100 bills or bus companies can refuse to accept anything but coins. Your broker can legally refuse your dimes.
If you have "such scorn" for the industry, you shouldn't have used their services. Where was the scorn then? Grow up! You sound like a cry baby.
Services? The main service they provide, by way of their trade organizations, is lobbying the government so that they can continue their stronghold on the market. [Let's remember that all a rental real estate agent is is an outsourced function of the LANDLORD's office.]
By contrast, it is illegal for an employment agency to charge a fee to a prospective employee. They are, after all, free-floating extensions of the Personnel office.
If they refuse my dimes, then they don't get any money =o They should probably want to take it...
This was a gag gift for a bachelor party once, but you can pay in singles, which you individually crumple up and dump in a bag. Broker then has to straighten them out and pile them up in order to deposit them.
To Goldie's point, you can refuse to accept coins, but i don't think you can refuse to accept paper money just because its wrinkled.

You don't think, but you aren't sure?
SE, why?
typical, C0lumbiaC0unty defends the wrinkled.

That was pretty funny.
i don't understand why they would refuse to take it - they'd rather have nothing?
Most if not all firms request a bank check.

Imagine the hoops Aboutready would have to jump through. And then if it was the one year out of five that Aboutready says Jamie Dimon says there should be a bank crisis, well, pennies seem like a good option after all.
cash is king. It is even more powerful than a bank check.
