Only In Indiana?

A 70-year-old man from my adopted home state of Indiana did something that you wouldn't believe: he bought a new truck, paying for it with just coins. Coins. A new truck. Paid in full. Using only coins. I find it simply amazing.

Fox News has this story from the Associated Press about a man named Paul Brant who used more than $25,000 in pocket change to pay for a new Dodge Ram half-ton pickup truck. Considering how cars are purchased nowadays and the methods used to pay for them, it's stories like this that are just plain amazing.

Could a situation like this happen in California? I doubt it. Only in Indiana? Maybe.
