Man steals 300,000 pennies from his employer

As the title say, a man in PA stole @ $3000 of pennies from his employer. I have to wonder what goodies could have been recovered from that stack.

Kind of interesting that the picture they use has all quarters. Somewhat indicative of the cluelessness of the American public when it comes to money in general.

Stack. Stack pennies. Stack your own pennies.

a little late in commenting, but how did one person move a 1600 lb drum and then get it into his jeep. just a random thought.
I don't even think the Arnold could have done it in the 70's

I see he was jailed in Lackawanna County (a guy who lacked and wanted some pennies). Now that's just perfect!

It doesn't seem to get specific, but I'm guessing he used a forklift.
