A Massachusetts library pleaded with the public on Wednesday through a Facebook post to stop paying late fees with Chuck E. Cheese and Bonkers Fun House tokens.

Cheese and Bonkers. Since they are not legal tender, we cannot accept them.”
Sue Kontos, a bookkeeper at the library, said she was given tokens from the two entertainment centers and counted them before discovering the coins were not the proper currency, The Salem News reported.

The library also included in their post that they “also cannot accept Canadian coins.”
