Board 8 > 1 million dollars but it's all in pennies

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can't exchange it for dollars and you have to keep it in your house. Do you accept?

No.

If I have to keep it in my house, then I can't spend it.

you can't actually spend pennies

but I'd melt them down for ore and end up with plenty of actual money.

Yes if I can take it to a coinstar machine.

If I have to spend them penny by penny, then I pay off my college debt by inviting the collectors over and telling them to take what they need.

100,000,000 pennies in my house?

That's roughly a weight of 551,155.655 lb...which is mind boggling to deal with.

BUT...it wouldn't take up TOO much space.



I'd say yes, because its a million dollars and who would turn that down?

sure, I'll take it. Then I'll start throwing pennies at people

-Toad, SMB3

Pennies average about 3 grams.
Pennies are about 0.4 cubic centimeters, or 0.4 ML.

There are 100,000,000 pennies in a million dollars.

So...we're talking 300,000 kg.
We're talking 40,000,000 cubic centimeters, or 40 cubic meters.

The volume isn't so atrocious; maybe completely fill a couple of spare bedrooms or an entire basement. I mean, don't get me wrong it would be annoying. But the weight...would destroy most houses. That's about 100x the weight most houses are designed to support.

Well no, Euros are Euros.

I exchange them for another currency that aren't dollars.

And then exchange THAT into dollars.

Actually, I'll accept, then throw them into a hot fire and refine the pennies so I can start a business in copper-zinc alloys.

I read the topic title as "penises" instead of "pennies."

I was confused.

So basically we have to buy things with pennies. That's a problem, because what's the most expensive thing you can buy where they'll accept pennies for it? The price of that can't be more than a dollar. Maybe some candy at a local store, maybe not even full size candy bars, like the mini candies on top of the counter that's 20/25 cents. And you can't go there TOO many times, because they'll either get sick of you, or be overloaded with pennies. So maybe melting them for the metals is the best option.

You're not exchanging, you're buying euros. It's like buying gold, or a TV, or a car, or any other object.

I'd probably accept and sell them to the US government at half price for recirculation. This is assuming the weight doesnt destroy my house, which it might. All those pennies would weigh about as much as 50 African elephants.

canada doesn't have pennys anymore

How can you exchange half a million pounds of pennies for foreign currency. I'd imagine the only buyer for this item would be the US gov, and even that aint a certainty.

Or metal companies that would melt it down, I guess, but theyd also offer a greatly reduced price. Considering the risk of destroying your home, it may not even be worth it.

I would make penny furniture.

yes. Free chocolate bars for life.

But seriously, just make a deal with a coffee shop or any other store and frequently buy stuff with a box of $25 worth of pennies or two every week. Every store I know of has to get pennies from the bank anyways.

Just get a pennywrapping machine and spend the rolls of pennies, or exchange the rolls of pennys for LARGER rolls of quarters for larger rolls of dollar coins.

Retire from your job and just wrap coins forever.
