fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 10:00 am Useful info for copper hoarders. A million dollars (face) in pennies is only 12 cubic feet easy enough to stash away in a basement. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 12:52 pm Thanks for sharing that. It's was informative and fun. Also a little humbling to know that small collection will never rival the current penny population. Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 1:19 pm My thoughts exactly. What am I doing that can compare to what's out there? This is the ebay listing that lead me to the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/250-000-Face-Va...em41557f6951 Where's my checkbook! Likely take me all weekend to go through them.

jbuck Moderator United States 189165 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 5:08 pm He meant 12 feet cubed (1728 cubic feet) But look closely. The 100,000,000 cents are two stacks. One is 12 x 12 x 12 and the other is 7 x 7 x 7. It will take 2071 cubic feet to hold them.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/29/2010 10:08 am I thought maybe he was confusing 1 million cents (16 cubic feet)as 1 million dollars worth. His comment about the hoarders still holds true though, that 1 million cents represents $10,000 face value in just 16 cubic feet. Most copper hoarders will probably not get that amount.
