Ok, I tried it.
It's actually pretty easy to do the basic bridge.
Beyond that I got bored.

Neat idea, I tried something like that with poker chips a while ago. Well, I had 3000 cents going back to the bank, and decided to try it. I ended up making a 1410-cent tower that was around 1.5-2 feet tall.

I tried playing jenga with it once it was done; I removed 118 cents from it before it fell! And what a mess!

Here's the finished pictures:

Cool.

From page 9, with over 289K cents. Following the link, from that page, it is over 403K now (he is doing a fundraiser).

I wonder if he searched them all before stacking them. There has to be something good in that pile.

I had to bump this as it is pretty cool. Oh if I only had that much time on my hands and no children to destroy the art that I was building..... Sincerely, John Leckrone

Your not the only one. When you get older you realize how little time there is left. And to spend time doing that would make what's left sort of silly. Just old age speaking.
