One Thousand Pennies

Posted in General, Random by Rob

I was cleaning my room last week, and I found a whole bunch of change all over the place. I keep a little dish on my desk that I toss coins into when I empty my pockets at the end of the day. I also have an old basket that I stole from Quizno’s that I used to keep coins in that I found while cleaning.

I figured I would roll up the coins to get a bit more organized, and I was surprised that I had over 1000 pennies! Having one thousand of anything is a lot, but when it’s money, it seems a lot more exciting. Here’s what $10 in pennies looks like:


1000 pennies!

    What will you buy?

    I’d say your best bet is $10 worth of coin rolls.

    re-invest.

    if he uses the money to buy coin rolls, he will have no money to put in the rolls.. get $10 in loonies or twoonies. 1000pennies, or 10 loonies. or 5 twoonies.

    The least amount of things to make the 1000.. Ten dollar bill.

    Lately I’ve heard rumours about getting rid of pennies because they aren’t worthwhile. Maybe I’ll just keep all these pennies and one day they’ll become a collector’s item and I’ll be rich.

    Or I could just put them in a sock and beat someone with it…
