Man cashes in $13,000 in pennies at coinstar.
I came across this while trying to find out how much juice coinstar takes.
New World Record Penny Cash-in
FLOMATON, Ala. - June 22, 2005
Coinstar, Inc. customer, Edmond Knowles, today broke the world’s record for the largest ever personal penny collection with a cash-in of 1,308,459 pennies (or $13,084.59) at Escambia County Bank’s Coinstar machine in Flomaton, Alabama.
The pennies, which Knowles stored in four 55-gallon and three 20-gallon oil barrels in his garage, weighed more than 4.5 tons. The collection set a new world record as well as broke Coinstar’s existing record for the most pennies cashed-in by a customer. The previous Coinstar record was 1,048,013 pennies (or $10,480.13) set in November 2004 in Barberton, Ohio.
I have 53 pounds in mixed change.
Anyone have more than that?
