Now, that's payback!

A Virginia man used 300,000 pennies to pay sales tax on two cars at the Department of Motor Vehicles in revenge over months of legal wrangling.

Nick Stafford delivered five wheelbarrows full of change, mostly pennies, at the DMV office in Lebanon, Virginia, on Wednesday.

The coins weighed in at 1,600 pounds.

Stafford said he paid in coins to 'inconvenience' the DMV

On his website, Stafford said he owns four homes in two counties, and that in September 2016, he wanted to know where a Corvette he bought for his son should be registered.

Stafford was upset because he was unable to find out the direct number to the Lebanon DMV until filing a Freedom of Information Act request.

He wrote: 'Well, after waiting on the phone with the DMV in Richmond for over an hour I made an official FOIA request.'

'I requested the direct "private" unlisted phone number to the Lebanon VA DMV office,' Stafford explained. 'I asked for the "UNLISTED" direct phone number that only DMV employees and other government departments have access to.'

He said he called the Lebanon DMV, but that it informed him he wasn't allowed to call that number and hung up on him.

He wrote: 'Needless to say after MANY repeat phone calls to that same unlisted number (the number that I wasn't "allowed" to call) I finally got my question answered.

'To prove a point I called the Lebanon DMV office again and this time I asked for the direct "unlisted" private phone numbers to several other DMV offices: Clintwood, Vansant, Tazewell, Norton, Jonesville, Gate City, Abingdon, Marion and Wythville.'

He sued the state because he says he was denied the phone numbers.

Stafford filed three lawsuits, which were dismissed Tuesday, The Bristol Herald-Courier reported.

He wrote online that a Richmond Attorney General's Office showed up 'to personally hand me a list with all the phone numbers I had requested'.

Stafford explained: 'Since the state personally turned over the info to me during our court hearing, I had no objections when the Attorney Generals Office asked for a dismissal.'

He wrote online: 'You may ask, why go though all this trouble? In 2016 I paid nearly $300,000 just in state and federal income taxes and I have zero tolerance for any government employee refusing to follow the laws of the Commonwealth, that's why.

'It shouldn't matter if you pay $300 per year in income taxes or pay $300,000 per year in income taxes like myself, because the backbone of a free democracy / republic begins with government transparency, period.'

Stafford posted this message on Facebook Wednesday, describing his ordeal of unloading the pennies and having them counted

Stafford shelled out $165 for the lawsuits, two of which were against specific Lebanon DMV employees and one against the DMV itself, The Bristol Herald Courier reported.

He also paid 11 employees a total of $440 dollars ($10 per hour) to break paper rolls with hammers. He spent an additional $400 on five wheelbarrows, the report said.

Stafford told The Bristol Herald Courier: 'I think the backbone to our republic and our democracy is open government and transparency in government and it shocks me that a lot of people don't know the power of FOIA.'
