One thing we both noticed is the amount of pennies thrown into fountains, pools or ondeed anywhere near water. I would suggest that if you gathered all these up, you could probably wipe out the Gross national debt.

So he went to the bank and got $500 worth of pennies. They sat in boxes in our basement until my mom convinced somebody who worked on our house to take payment in pennies. I remember him loading the pennies into his truck. Not one of my father's more inspired financial moves.
