I don't know the law in the States but I've been told by previous bosses that there are limits on the amount of unrolled (and possibly even rolled) coin a person can pay with and then the business can refuse the payment.
Funny though.
Check out the last sentence or two at this Snopes article.

Not sure how reliable this is but:
Quote:
1. Anywhere in Canada
It is illegal to pay for a 26 cent item in all pennies. The limit is 25 cents (50 cents in some provinces). If you are paying for your item in nickels, then its illegal to pay for it in nickels if it’s over $5. It’s also illegal to pay for something over $10 dollars in all dimes.
I really need to get to the convenience store and tell my friend Mr. Don not to turn me in. I don’t think he likes me much anyways, because I only go to his store when I break the penny basket. Traitor.
