I saw an article about this guy from another source recently. It might have been on coinflation.com. I googled the headline and found this link:
http://www.milforddailynews.com/topstories/x1222860486/Pennies-add-up-for-Milford-manI thought his storage system was rather interesting. How many pennies fit in one of those boxes?
So he began collecting an average of 2.5 pennies per day and placing them into a grape crate. But after a few years, the box began to break due to the overbearing weight. So he bought a pair of steel military rocket launcher ammo boxes to hold the pennies.
