U.S. pennies minted since 1982 weigh 2.5 grams (0.088 ounces), while older pennies minted before that weigh 3.11 grams (0.109 ounces), so $700,000 in new pennies is 3858 lbs, old time copper pennies 4800 lbs.A skid loader and 4 or 5 triaxle dump trucks. Call the branch a day ahead.
I got 70,000,000 pennies x .10 = 7,000,000 oz / 16 = 437,500 lbs. Wrong? Did i lose a decimal?U.S. pennies minted since 1982 weigh 2.5 grams (0.088 ounces), while older pennies minted before that weigh 3.11 grams (0.109 ounces), so $700,000 in new pennies is 3858 lbs, old time copper pennies 4800 lbs.
It's a problem I'd like to have.I wonder how you would transport and cash in $700k in pennies.
That's a mosquito spray rig, someone changed the story????

The pot was better too!! See the giant Bird decal on the Camaro hood. LOLOLOL
What the fuck, why does a Camaro have a fire chicken on the hood? Damn it, I was treed.
That's what I get for sleep posting, forgot to multiply 700,000 x 100. You rounded .109 oz to .10 instead of .11, and that error, 70,000,000 x .009 oz. is 630,000 oz. /16 = 39,375 lbs, so both of us missed it. Our combined effort made the whole indervvebs IQ diminish somewhere in that range.I got 70,000,000 pennies x .10 = 7,000,000 oz / 16 = 437,500 lbs. Wrong? Did i lose a decimal?
