Not exactly pennies from heaven — Andreas Flaten says goodbye to the wheelbarrow full of his employer's final payment to him.Photo/Coinstar.
On April Fool’s Day, Andreas Flaten, a Fayetteville, Ga., man, finally gets real cash to replace 91,000 pennies that he received for pay from a former employer, Walker Luxury Autoworks on Clover Reach in Peachtree City.
Coinstar, known for its network of coin-counting kiosks, stepped in to help Flaten by picking up the oily, dirty pennies at his home and in return gave him $1,000 in cash. The pennies were originally dumped in Flaten’s driveway by his former employer and were intended to serve as his final “paycheck.”
