Power of the Penny

Unhappy when his Canadian bank began outsourcing some of its credit card processing to the United States, Don Rogers lodged his protest via the bank's online payment system, jamming its computers by making dozens of tiny payments a day. His card has since been canceled by Vancouver-based Citizens Bank, but Roger will continue paying his remaining balance of C$1,000 ($860) one little bit at a time. His initial attempt at paying in pennies produced a statement over 32 feet long.
