Coppercoins I think once said he has 500,000+ pennies, which is not quite as much, but his are sorted by die variety!

Let me guess..the person who now has them is selling them on Ebay as "UNSEARCHED WHEATS!" yeah, right. But come to think of it, I did get a 1944-D in change yesterday, maybe it was one of his.

This genius sold wheaties to Coinstar at their standard 92¢ on the dollar?

Some states (such as California) have laws limiting the number of pennies that can be used in paying a bill.

Otherwise everybody who gets their electricity cut off would be bringing in sacks of pennies
