I wonder how big a pyramid I can make with my 10,000 copper pennies. Possibly a 1/960th scale of the Great Pyramid of Giza. 9 1/2" X 9 1/2" X 6" tall.

If you watch the video, that thing has been around so long there are cobwebs on it.

That's cool and all if you have $10k you can tie up and apparently endless amounts of free time.

The Sphinx would have been more impressive.
All I see is the next 1 million questions of "is this double struck?" "No that's glue residue" on this forum. Lol

That's a lot of pennies! I like that he sorted them into the shiny/dull to make the design.
