About this listen

When life gives you taxes… grab a wheelbarrow.


In this episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne tells the unbelievable true story of Nick Stafford, the man who settled a $3,000 tax bill using 300,000 pennies and made government employees count every single one.


From viral headlines to a seven-hour coin-counting marathon, discover how one taxpayer turned frustration into performance art and proved that sometimes, the system only listens when the penny finally drops.


🪙 A $3,000 tax bill paid in copper

🚗 A grudge, five wheelbarrows, and one very long day at the DMV

💰 The legal loophole that made it possible

😂 And a reminder that protest doesn’t always have to make cents it just has to make noise


A short, sharp Money2Byrne story about money, madness, and the ultimate petty payback.
