"It sounded like chains shaking, this is not the correct way to behave," Thunell said of last week's payment.

While Thunell now has her payment, the shopkeeper admits she has been unable to transport the coins to the bank for deposit.

"The bags are too heavy," she told the Local.

Sogaard, who was once married to Eurovision performer Carola Haggkvist, incurred the debt as a result of satin boxes he purchased for his recent wedding. But Sogaard was upset with the quality of the boxes, leading to the sales conflict and his ensuing payment joke.
