I caught this on the internet. It happened in 2015. $5,136 worth of pennies - that's 513,600 pennies! collected since 1970. And this man turned them in to a bank at face value! I would have loved to play with THAT pile. Just call me Scrooge McDuck! Quack, quack, quack.  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Just like fplagge said. That would have been super fun to hunt. It would have lasted me months! Happy hunting!

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
