willieboyd2 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The children of Groton and Dunstable, Mass., had painstakingly collected and counted pennies for months - a shiny coin to represent each of the 1.5 million children killed during the Holocaust. Then a school custodian allegedly stole 120,000 pennies from the coffee cans and water jugs where they were stored. That act, discovered last week, unleashed a flood of goodwill. People flocked to the Groton-Dunstable Middle School on foot, by armored truck, even on a motorcycle, bearing pennies. By Thursday, the kids had their 1.5 million coins. http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/...Pennies-ON.html This proves that someone wants pennies!

thedeadpoint Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I can't even fathom 1,000,000 of anything. There are something on the order of 10^79 atoms in the universe. That doesn't sound like a lot but apparently it is. To be somewhat facetious (don't hit me for saying this): I wonder what numismatic treasures are in their lot of coins.
