I'm prety thumb-fingered, so I didn't apply for a speed record. [If anyone's the fastest sorter, it would be henrysmedford's son Franklin.] Instead, I applied for an endurance record: a penny-sorting marathon, like those dance marathons. If the rules are the same as they were 20 years ago, this means one five-minute break in an hour and virtually no sleep in the stretch. Only a few naps in thos five-minute breaks.
The application's been accepted for internal review, so it wasn't bounced at the outset. Still, it's a long-shot application. Given the ranking of penny-sorting in the Nightline world, this isn't the most popular of activities.

Anyways, I'm just letting you know that penny sorting might get an entry in Guinness World Records next year if I'm lucky enough to get my attempt approved. I'll probably find out around Christmas, as I didn't shell out the GBP 450 + VAT for expidited service. Too many pennies for me.

I also wanted to let everyone know that the speed category seems to be unclaimed by anyone. If you're interested in filling out an application yourself, just go to Guinness' Website.
