Man Buys Chevrolet in Coins

[PR0CESS0R]

---

An Ohio man with a hatred of paper money slapped down $8,000 in coins at a car dealership to buy a Chevrolet pick-up - then paid the rest by cheque.

James Jones, 70, produced 16 coffee cans full of coins to buy his new Chevrolet Silverado in Cincinnati and staff spent 90 minutes counting it.

But his coin hoard only covered half of the $16,000 (£8,500) price tag.

The man's son said the most amazing thing for him was his father deciding to replace his 1981 pick-up at all.

As far back as he could remember, Dennis Jones told the Cincinnati Enquirer, his father had always had coins.

“He gave me lunch money in coins and each time he ever gave me money it was in coins,” he recalled. - BBC News

Tagsa ra kaayo makakita ug pinoy motigum ug sinsilyo. Pero kng insik pa na, basin ma break pa na nga recod ni Jones. Suko gani ang insik kulang ug 5 cents. Pero lipay kaayo na sila kong mo ingon ang buyer nga "diha lang na ang 25 cents".
