Check out this video from Fox News, via The Wall Street Journal, about Nicolaus Ramos, a University of Colorado student from Sacramento who paid his tuition with all one-dollar bills last week.

From the Sacramento Bee:

To make a point about the high cost of tuition, Nicolaus Ramos, a University of Colorado student from Sacramento, paid his tuition bill with all one-dollar bills Friday.

"Before, I would pay with a check. This year I'm paying in all ones, over $14,000 in ones, weighing in at nearly 30 pounds," Ramos explained on a YouTube video produced by the Boulder Daily Camera.

To be precise, the Colorado student's out-of-state tuition payment came to $14,309.51, wire services reported.

Here's an interview with Ramos from the Daily Camera, the school newspaper.
