Someone help me with the math here, I'm too stoned...
A penny weighs 1/10th of an ounce and there are 16 ounces in a pound. If I have 79 pounds of pennies, about how much money is it? I came up with around 126 bucks, but I'm retarded at basic math questions like this so I could be wrong.
be greatful it didnt burst over hardwood floor.
altho i would lmao if it had.

Honestly, If you dont need that money real bad, just spend a few minutes a day rolling the pennies up when you have nothing else to do, say after smoking a jay and throwing on some music.
After a few days I guarantee youll have them all nicely rolled up.
No coinstar bullshit, no hassles, no stress.

Just always carry like 20 of them in your pocket. When homeless ask if you got any change, jingle them a bit as you pretend to look for change, then say no.
Or go to a Canadian strip club. Those girls go crazy when they see real money.

So I finally decided to cash in all the pennies that have been sitting in my cooler for several months. I needed something to put beer in and I didn't want to buy a new cooler. I brought it up to my bank which has a coin counter that members get to use for free ( ) and got the money for them! $126.66 to be exact!
It turned out that I had: ~15550 pennies 1 quarter 5 dimes 7 nickels

So the moral to the story is that good things come in time and persistance prevails. 
Also, here is something I bought with a portion of my money:

Life is good.

$126.4/13 years = $9.72/year = $.02662/day
You'd be rich if you invest it at 6% per year for 1000 years.
