History Making, Coinstar(R) Assisted Cash-In Scheduled Tuesday at Cleveland, Ohio Giant Eagle Supermarket

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- After meticulously saving his pennies for the last 34 years, 78-year-old Eugene J. Sukie will cash them in for nearly $11,000 -- just in time for the holidays and his 79th birthday. Sukie, a retired glass plant worker/supervisor, has accumulated more than 3.5 tons of pennies, a collection he has stored by year, in paper rolls, inside approximately 575 cigar boxes piled high in the basement of his Barberton, Ohio home.

... and it'd be worth three to four times that by now if invested properly. GOOD IDEA!

Not a bad deal, but how'd he hold that many pennies?

 

[automagnus]

Funniest thread tittle ever :lol :lol

Nearly $11,000 minus the 8% that coinstar charges you

 

[Escape Goat]

Heehee, I'll wait outside the bank when he cashes his pennies and steal the money! He'll be unable to pursue me! Brilliant!

Do you have a brother or cousin on Long Island? 12th grade? Because your account name resembles his AIM name a lot.

He's probably just try and use the money to buy the moon and a caveman waiter, be turned down, sit in the corner sad. No good can come of this.

 

[shoplifter]

If he had any sense, he'd have stuck them up his ass and then spent them.

Who knows he might of....

I've been sticking $30 in pennies up my ass for the past 11 years! That's 3,000 pennies a day; 21,000 pennies a week; 1,092,000 pennies a year! To date that's 12,012,000 pennies, 8 times the population of Nebraska. Those pennies were in my ass! You think you're better than me? Oh, you're not better than me. You handle my ass pennies everyday. You pick up my ass pennies for good luck. You throw my ass pennies in fountains and make wishes on them. You give my ass pennies to your little daughter to buy gumballs with.
