If I were you I wouldn't try it.

You can, and I know someone who did as a result of bad customer service. After receiving poor service from a business, my friend was billed $225.00. He changed it into pennies, constructed a steel box to hold them, them welded the box shut and mailed it to the business. It cost him an additional $15 to mail, but he was satisfied.

Can you pay with a roll of quarters?

This is not an authoritative answer, rather more of an experience based answer. I believe in most states that you can pay with a roll of quarters (or pennies et al.) IF you owe a debt to someone. Example: Your car is towed to an impound lot and you owe a debt to reclaim it - you could pay with quarter rolls. The reasoning being it is legal tender and must be accepted when paying a debt. However, it is probably more an establishment's policy whether they will accept rolls of quarters as payment for something which you do not owe a debt on. (e.g. - groceries).
