Can't think of a better place to ask this question - parking tickets

Does anyone have any experience with paying a parking ticket in person at the parking office in Davis Square with say $50 worth of quarters?    (unrolled)   I'm not quite mean enough to show up with $50 worth of pennies (and really don't want to spend the time sitting there while they are counted), but I want to make a statement.  I'll all honesty, I'd pay by credit card if Somerville didn't charge an extra fee (Boston doesn't).    Yes, I could mail in a check but there is no satisfaction in that.     Parking enforcement in Somerville has jumped the shark and it is time for some civil disobedience.  

Go for it

Recently when going through the toll booth I gave the guy some quarters and about 5 pennies...He looked at them and said 'thanks a lot' with an attitude.
I say go for it but you should have them rolled with so many.
It's legal money , why make their job easier? The parking dept doesn't make it easy for the working people of this city.

do I sound bitter? You betcha.
