Just saw this on the news this morning.
Some folks found a million pennies in bags & boxes in
a relatives' basement recently.
I could spend the rest of my life going thru those bad boys!
They were found in California so hopefully the dry climate there
kept them in decent condition.

I'd seen that on the ANA Facebook page. Hard to imagine having $10k in cents stored away...

Me too, I was getting ready to post up that news report.
a great example of why to NOT hoard copper cents.
Not sure if your link is the complete story, or even written the same way so here is the one I read:

This is I believe the 3rd post on the same topic just here on the CCF.

The fact that the family can't seem to find a good way to get rid of them is the best justification ever for not hoarding copper cents.
