I'm tripping on the fact that they will not accept them without charging a fee. What, US money is no good at a bank? Not that I believe it actually exists as anything more than numbers in a computer, but still, this is kind of a bad precedent to set.

This make me wonder though, since pennies don't say "Federal Reserve Note" on them, are they even considered part of that system? Never really researched it.

Does this mean if I walk in with a garage full of one dollar bills one day, they won't be honored without a similar sort of "bulk processing fee?" Lots of fun questions...
