That is a bunch of pennies! I can not imagine how long that would take to roll, much less count, Beale.

And if you did roll them all up and get them to the bank they would only give you 6 or 8 paper bills for them. JC

The Lincoln, Wheat Ears Reverse penny weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1959 to 1982) weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1982 to present) weighs 2.5 grams. Let’s call it 2.7 just for fun. Hmm, roughly 28 grams to an ounce (don’t ask) and 16 ounces to a pound. 55,000 pennies weigh in at close to 330 lbs. A million pennys weigh in at over three tons. And nearly enough to pay for back surgery in Mexico.

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!
