A German man received a fine of €292.92 for smuggling letters for a prisoner.  He paid the fine...in pennies, or whatever the hell one cent pieces are called over there.  The weight of said coinage was about 139 pounds, a local bank counted the coins up, and indeed, the total was exactly €292.92.  The court accepted the payment because shipping the coinage back would have been too much.
