I particularly like this quote:
''We're putting a lot of pennies back into circulation that have been in bottles and cans and things in garages for a long time,'' said Higgins, who hit the road in Chuck's two-ton Isuzu flatbed truck at 7 a.m. Monday, with the possibility that after reaching Tallahassee, they'd ``go out in a different direction in the state and pick up more pennies.''
We've also heard the stories about regular people dumping coins at the banks to raise extra cash. I wonder if these people will ever realize that they dumped nickel, copper, zinc and even perhaps a little silver for FRNs which are of questionable value to say the least. |

"Brinks was hired to count and transport the $26,000 in coins before their eventual donation to the Children's Home Society of Florida. Until then, only a handful of people know where they are."
Ohhh guard those pennies carefully.
And then "Only that many pennies -- one to represent every student in the state of Florida -- weighs some 15,000 pounds."
We have members here that could fill that order in pure copper. They should just call Hoard instead of driving all over the state.
