Pennies on the meter

Crime - Law

Students at Colorado State University were getting a deal, or rather, a steal on campus parking. Some... we'll call them "enterprising" student motorists figured out that a glitch in old campus parking meters confused certain pennies for quarters, so they were cashing in on 30 minutes of parking for only one cent — hard to resist if you're a broke college kid. But campus police caught on after lots of copper starting showing up in the meters. The manufacturer is now replacing them.
