I think I'll be at the meet, if people are actually showing up this time.

I'll have my magical jar of pennies, if anyone wants to donate (please do. I'm so getting a video of this. Hopefully, Alex isn't busy this weekend and takes me up to Commerce to dump it in to their counter)

Just donate what you can, or if you have a penny jar collecting dust, dump that in too!

If I get any donations? Maybe a little over 200 bucks.

If I don't get any donations? 186 bucks.

Why don't you sit on Broad Street with a sign and a cup asking for change?

cause this is only pennies, not change.

WhiteXFire · 12-19-2005, 11:26 PM

Ok, so since I'm an idiot, let's try this again...

A penny weighs 2.5 grams.
$200 in nothing but pennies is 50kg, or 110.23 pounds.
How much does the jug weight (itself and with the pennies)??

Let's see how close we can get by "measuring".

If you do the math, that's 96,800 pennies, or $968 (negating the weight of the jug).

$200 of nothing but pennies should theoretically weight 22.7 pounds.

110lbs is roughly 50kg.

WhiteXFire · 12-19-2005, 11:35 PM

Yeah, I just realized that...I'm sitting here thinking, wait, that's not right at all, haha!

My bad, yo.

DropTopChevy · 12-20-2005, 02:09 AM

What is this all for?

BlackBulletTSi · 12-20-2005, 02:20 AM

Cause Clint is broke lol

Its Ok Clint I am probably more broke then you right now.

1988 Olds · 12-20-2005, 02:23 AM

I actually came up with something like 2.35 grams or something, so I did the math before and came up with like 186 bucks. Last time I weighed it, anyway. I don't know how much heavier it's gotten, but I'm willing to guess it's close to or a little over 100lbs now.

I've had this penny jar sitting around forever, just been adding pennies. I decided it's time to turn it in, and I have a feeling they'll be changing the trays in the counter at Commerce while I'm doing this, because it's a LOT of pennies. I thought it would be funny to videotape this as well, because, well, making people suffer through hordes of change is funny. I figured not many people really collect pennies in such large amounts, and if anyone just has pennies they really don't think they're going to cash any time soon and it's kinda bugging them by taking up space, they can donate to the hilarity (and help me get some more money at the same time. ;) I really am brok, I just don't complain about it.)

I doubt it, Rob. I've been laid off for awhile now, still looking for a half decent job that would work around my school schedule, AND paying for school, with no job. I'm very broke, but I just don't complain about it, because it's not that big a deal. I just saw this as an opportunity to have fun and make a video of commerce employees being pissed over a jar of pennies.

WhiteXFire · 12-20-2005, 06:14 PM

I came up with 2.35 grams initially too, but then I realized that was a Canadian penny. A US "one-cent" coin is 2.5 grams.
