More Pennies for Me
So, what would you rather have: $60,000 in cash (paper bills) or $600,000 in pennies? If your goal is to enrich yourself, you should’ve answered the $600,000 in pennies. The point here is that you’re not getting 600,000 pennies, which would indeed equal $6,000, but you’re getting 100 times that amount.
Did you know a penny weighs 2.5 grams? So, $600,000 in pennies, which would equal 60,000,000 pennies, would weigh 150,000,000 grams or roughly 330,693.4 pounds. Meanwhile, $60,000 in $100 bills (1 gram each) would weigh 600 grams or just about 1.4 pounds. We don’t know why we even brought this up.
