Imagine the weight of that many pennies. It looks like he has them on a trailer behind his truck.

Heard a news story a few years back of a guy so furious with his local tax collector that he paid with a 15 gallon drum of them. And yes, even though at first they would not except them, someone had the task of counting and providing a receipt. Maybe I'll try it myself.

That's an average of 31 pennies every day for 45 years. I can't imagine getting all of that in change

The machine would need two or three of its scheduled maintenance services in the process.
