[June 21, 2008]  DENVER (AP) -- Talk about squeezing every penny at the gas pump. Denver police say clerks at a gas station had a run-in with a man who insisted on using $10 worth of pennies to prepay for his fuel on Thursday.

The clerks said they were too busy with other customers and vendors making deliveries to accept the sackful of cents. They said the man was insistent and became offensive, so they called police and referred to him as an "unwanted person."

Police say that before they arrived, the man left without any fuel but with his pennies. Station employees say he was driving a satellite TV truck.
