Huge 2016 Penny Project Owning 10 % Of All 2016 Pennies.

Will this community center have an air hockey table?

I am sure there is room for both.

With 78,800 bricks of cents at 8.5" x 4" x 3.25" a box, you'd have a solid 5,038.97 cubic feet, roughly a cube 17.14 feet on each side. With that many bricks, you could have a good sized house (or community center).

Weight, however, would be an issue. With 78,800 bricks weighing about 18 pounds each, you'd be looking at 709.2 tons of 2016 cents. Let's hope we're not building on some soft land.

Likewise, cost of materials for just the bricks comes out to $1,970,000, making a pricey venture as well.

Yes, with some piles made of all the cents we collectively own.

I would not want to tap our collections, but I hear there are some vaults full of unwanted dollar coins...

Ah, yes, of course!

I would hope they would get the hint and stop making them for circulation.
