This company pays for it in advance.
A Georgian man whose vengeful former boss paid him his final hard-earned salary of $ 915 eventually received a “real payment” from a coin-counting company.
Andreas Flaten’s 91,515-penny wheelbarrow – dropped by former employer A OK Walker Autoworks last month – was picked up on Thursday and cashed by Coinstar, according to a company statement.
“I spent an hour or two a night trying to clean up the money and I probably only cleaned about $ 5,” Flaten said, according to a press release. “I was so relieved and grateful.”
On March 12, Flaten found 500 pounds of engine-oiled coins that made them hard to cash at his home in Fayetteville.
A note above the prey read, “fk you.”
Flaten’s girlfriend, Olivia Oxley, later shared a video with the pile of money in an Instagram post that went viral, prompting Coinstar to lend a helping hand.
“Coinstar has been working in the coin business for 30 years and we process about 41 billion coins a year – so raising 91,000 coins was a day’s work,” the company said.
The company said it rounded the value of the pennies to $ 1,000 and offered to donate the same amount to charities of Flaten’s choice.
Flaten chose two animal shelters in Atlanta to receive donations, according to FOX News.
“I gave the money to Royal Animal Refuge and TLC Pet Rescue. One saved my dog and another saved my mother’s dog, “he told the station on Friday.
Flaten had been promised the final check for $ 915 by January, but the money never came. He later said that his former boss accused him of damages to the company and that he refused to pay him properly.
