That's a little more than a large semi-truck can carry.
It's certainly more than a wood frame house can bear.
I do know that my local B+M coin dealer was approached by a fellow that wanted to sell about 700 pounds of cents. 700 pounds would probably put my vehicle on it's suspension bump-stops.

His next money makin' venture is to charge cherrypicker's $25/hour to go through them......
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

I hope the hell your eyes hold up
Or if you stacked up 20 rolls to make a thousand pennies, then you would need a cube of 100 rolls X 100 rolls X 20 rolls high. It would take up the larger part of a bedroom.
I would really like to know how Compromonedas is storing these & if he is concerned about his house caving in.
Cool goal I guess....and I suppose the reason why is 'just because'. I wish I had the room in my house for a project like that!

<< <i>10,000,000 pennies can be formed by a cube with 215 pennies in each dimension. Doesn't seem like so many when you think of it that way.....

That will not be fun. If you are like most of us retirees your eyes won't be able to handle the search.
You best search them now and then put those away, separately, and you'll be better off.
Good luck,
bob
PS: I don't bother to even look at cents anymore. Trifocals, loupes, headaches, etc.
What is the latest on your wheat collection and goal? How many 55 gallon drums are in your garage now?
Time for an update @compromonedas ....Ten years down the road... Whacha got now??? Cheers, RickO
Hmm, I'm not sure I believe you and if your from Georgia or Florida, I want a recount
That's a lot of wheat cents

Pictures or I don’t believe it!
I have about 4000 nickels to help get you there. A full canvas bag of 1963-D (minus a few I had slabbed).
Any current status from the original poster ?
He/she was on forum 3 days ago.
Probably counting to answer the question.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
my boss is a prolific Cent buyer, we currently have around 100 bags of Wheat Cents(5,000/bag) in the store and, yes, they have all been searched and sorted --- Teens, 20's, 30's, 40's/50's, AU and "S" Mint --- by either the person(s) we bought them from or by us, mostly by us. my perception of hell is sorting Wheat Cents with headphones on listening to Elvis Presley!! it can be a daunting task on some really slow, boring days.
at one point culminating around early 2014 he had accumulated over 300 bags, 1.5 million searched Wheat Cents. he finally sold them to Silvertowne and it took them two trips in three vans to haul them away. we used to tube the coins by better dates and found at least one example of every key date except a 1955 DDO.

What was the condition of 1909 S V.D.B and was it verified as authentic?
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Finally found the thread with working pictures.
All I can say is WOW, what a plan for retirement @compromonedas.

Poor mailman!!!
How much do those trash cans weigh each?
And just to let your heirs know how you really feel about them, buy them all a Cherrypickers' Guide right before you die.
Brute trash cans should do an ad campaign with this. That hoard would no doubt split my plastic trash cans. btw, What does the Wife say?
100% Positive BST transactions
I hate to say this but I think you have a Serious problem. I guess it’s better than having thousands of cats in your house.
I'm stuck on how a poster can have 1 visit but 1,167 posts... Does he ever log out?
