I was calculating the value for million <i>dollars</i> in pennies. That would be 1,000,000 x 100 pennies. Your estimate was for 1M pennies, which is just $10k. My math is correct, as is yours, but you were answering a different question. Bill: Re-read the post. I was calculating the value for million dollars in pennies.

Not 288 tons. The U.S. penny has a mass of 2.5 gram; multiplied by a million gives you 2500 kg. or 2.5 tonnes. Your math is wrong, one million pennies is only 2.5 tons. Not 288 tons.

I probably have $20 or more worth of pennies scattered around my apartment. When I get pennies in change, I usually leave them on the counter. Turning them into spendable money takes so long that it's no longer worth it to me...and I know I'm far from the only one who feels this way.
