  I think you need to pay them that $23 in a mix of pennies and nickels.

    While this might make you feel better, some poor schlep clerk will just have to roll these up and put them in for deposit. Heh... If you really want to make it more painful for them, figure out how to make it the most odd lots of change possible. For example, 45 pennies, 39 nickles (40 nickles to a roll, right?), 49 dimes... whatever you can to make it the most work.
    

    If they're a company with good policies about such things, they'll be able to cash it in to an office petty cash account, but they probably can't.
    

    It really won't do anything to correct the problems or hit the corporation where it hurts. You may have to show up in person at their office to pay in coins, so it'll be a hassle.
    

    Involving the Oregon Public Utilities Commission was a good move.
