>From our local newspaper [January 1-7, 2006]: "Edmond Knowles of
Flomaton [Alabama] (pop. 1,588) set a world record when he cashed in his 38-year penny collection last June [2005]. The pennies, stored in four 55-gallon and three 20-gallon barrels, yielded $13,084.59, the largest personal penny cash-in ever recorded." That's 1,308,459 pennies!!
