Snapple Cap's Amazing Coin Fact

I had a Snapple Tea today and inside the cap was printed "Real Fact" #196 You might need a calculator if you want to check the math on this one.... It read: "If you doubled one penny every day for 30 days, you would have $5,368,709.12" I wonder what would happen if you doubled a graded penny or a VDB or perhaps an enhanced penny....

Well you would need 268,435,456 pennies for the 30th day, so I imagine it might be a little difficult to accomplish

Yes, 1×2 to the 29th power.
If you did that with a 09 s vdb you would run out on the 19th day. Mintage was 484k. Total for the 19th day would be 524,288.
Snapple? Is this the 90s? Are they still a thing? Who knew.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Someone has too much time on their hands....

Look! Monkeys!
Sorry, that was the kids playing outside.
Ice cream truck!
Why try to be smarter than a fifth-grader when it's inner wisdom that we truly seek?

Somewhere near Bedminster NJ, today, a "beaner" is riding his bicycle, totally unaware of the storm that's not brewing!
Albanese is not that Mexican a name, is it? Some of the white trash in Bedminister have a problem with stuff like this.
Time to switch from Snapple to Premium Grolsch.
Grolsch - used to be a German beer, then became Dutch, right?
See what happens when that Colorado mellow wears off?
So the "Rocky Mountain High" is over?
I guess your local Taco Bell is showing an uptick in sales.
Time to switch from Snapple to a good single malt and an order of Shepherds Pie!

Are you o.k., coloneljessup? Let's see; Mexicans (slur), white trash, throw in something about the Germans and the Dutch, Colorado mellow(?), monkeys(?), questioning the ethnicity of a person's surname. You cover a lot of territory. Are you o.k.?
Oh yeah all you ( us ) coin guys....try this

How old are you? IMO, the world was a much better place before the PC police came along after being "educated" by the "stoner" generation. I should like to post all the names I've been called (that never bothered me) over the years but it would hurt your tender eyes. The way we post and the words we use let everyone know what's in our heart and in yours. I wish you and your ilk would get a life!
As for his post, I really don't have a clue what he said or what it has to do with this thread. Do I care? Absolutely not. Ditto for your PC comments but I do enjoy posting about the "Snowflake" generation. Color me extremely satisfied with myself and there is not an emoji on CU to sufficiently indicate that.
What happened in 1800?
EDIT: Ain't the Internet amazing? I wonder if one of these was the correct answer:
January 7 – The Virginia General Assembly adopts the Report of 1800, a resolution drafted by James Madison arguing for the sovereignty of the individual states under the United States Constitution and against the Alien and Sedition Acts.
April – Voting begins in the United States presidential election, 1800; it will last until October. The result is not announced until February 1801.
April 24 – The U.S. Library of Congress is founded.
May 7 – Indiana Territory is formed by an Act of Congress as the first new territory created from the lands of the Northwest Territory.
May 21 – President John Adams issues general amnesty for the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers who participated in Fries's Rebellion.
July 4 – Indiana Territory is effective.
July 10 – Connecticut cedes its Western Reserve (an area in present-day northeastern Ohio) to the federal government, which adds it to the Northwest Territory.
August 4 – The 2nd United States Census is conducted. It finds 5,308,483 people living in the U.S. of which 893,602 are slaves.
September 30 – The Convention of 1800, or Treaty of Mortefontaine, is signed between France and the United States of America, ending the Quasi-War.
November 1 - U.S. President John Adams becomes the first President of the United States to live in the Executive Mansion (later renamed the White House).
November 17 – The U.S. Congress holds its first Washington, D.C. session.
I remember doing something like that in grade school. A teacher asked us if we would rather have a penny doubled for 30 days, or $100,000. Of course we all said $100,000. Shows the power of math.

Insider2, I'm posting this while in bed. The blankets are over my head. I'm a shaky, confused, and hurt mess. Deeply hurt. And sad. You hurt my little old feelings, big guy. If, and when, I ever regain my composure, I'll try my best to redeem my reputation around here. In the meantime, I hope I don't melt. The last time I felt this bad was back around 1969 when that mean old nasty drill sergeant at Camp Pendleton told me that I had the brains of an earthworm and that I wasn't worth the dirt I was standing on. The only consolation then was that that bully had the same lowly opinion about all us, mostly teenage, good for nothing grunts. Sad to say, some of those same dumb earthworms never came home from that worthless exercise in stupidity. Alive that is. Some of them breathed their last earthly breath wallowing in that same dirt that was worth more than they were. A least in the opinion of those who obviously knew best. I saw it. With my own tender snowflake eyes. I don't know you and you don't know me. I would never write anything about people I don't know anything about. Think about it. In the meantime, rest assured, the U.S. Marines, those snowflakes, are out there.....right now, to do whatever it takes, even if it means getting blown to High Heaven (FUBARED) to keep you and yours all safe and snuggly.
SEMPER FIDELIS

With all your PC whining, you sure don't sound like any Marine I ever served with! Fortunately, you have no idea what the "Old Corps" was like. By the time you enlisted, Camp Pendelton was a "pussy-farm" and by 1969 the DI's couldn't lay a finger on you little "snowflake" worms!
BTW, thanks for your service. Many in my Parris Is. class are also on the wall in DC.
PS I sure hope you get healthy real soon.
It was this or start a thread for a Sheriff Joe commemorative medal. I want him to see himself in pink underwear (tangerine thong?). "Just as every cop is a criminal..."
The Bedminster beaner on a bike?
Mr. Albanese does quite a few miles most week-ends. Wears a helmet and carries his documents. 
The NY real-estate family that went from German to Dutch? Honestly?

@Insider2 hasn't said anything trollable yet today, so I decided to step up
Look! Monkeys!
Look! Two more '77 20centers!
Look! Premium Grolsch!
Cheers, @ricks
Coloneljessup, I would suggest that you expand your musical horizon. Simon and Garfunkel and the Rolling Stones etc., is somewhat trite and dated. Maybe some Wagner. Perfect fit.
Insider2, you win. You are a "Warrior Philosopher King." Who could compete with that? Not me. I will retreat now to my little world of the beautiful, faithful, and always entertaining Mrs. Hydrant, the four handsome and strong Hydrant sons and their equally gorgeous Hydrant wives, and the nine little Hydrants. Who I love dearly. You tell me to get "a life." They are my life. Goodbye, insider ,......"The All Knowing One."
P.S. COLLECT COINS FOR FUN!!!!!

They're cueing up Leni Riefenstahl. Perhaps you saw her Inauguration coverage. Gotta love the smell of napalm in the morning.
Jessup and Kurtz are brothers.
Thank you for your service, and your continuing vigilance.
You may be right, Coloneljessup. In fact, I think you may very well be right. Not that anyone alive today knows who Leni Riefenstahl was. I do. "United We Stand Divided We Fall." I'm On your side. I'm not the only one.
Coloneljessup. I sincerely apologize for the "Wagner" comment.
Totally uncalled for. I beg your forgiveness
Brothers in love and hate. Got a log in my eye right now....
I think that's a New Testament lyric. That's as close to kumbaya as I get in public.

Why you old fuddy-duddy, I thought you really were sick in bed! You certainly do have a life and something to be very proud of. As an only child, a life I envy! Hope you teach the grand children to appreciate your coins.
