Man sending 52,662 pennies to protest rate increase Associated Press Mar. 7, 2007 10:54 AM CARTERVILLE, Ill. - A man who's fed up with higher electric rates has come up with a way to show his displeasure while paying his bill. Robert Hancock says his monthly power bill jumped nearly 200 percent, to $526.62. So he's going to send Ameren 52,662 pennies. Hancock says he's worked things out with a local bank to get the coins and with the post office to mail the money. It will cost about $50 extra for postage, but Hancock says that if he can cause Ameren a little inconvenience, it's worth it to him. http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0307electric-pennies07-ON.html   1 Article displayed.
