ABC7Chicago.com: Gas station owner cashes in 1.4M pennies

You know the old saying about saving your pennies? Edmond Knowles has been doing it for thirty-eight years. The article says that after a while, customers at his gas station helped him out, giving him pennies to toss into his 55-gallon drums. Just for fun.

You have to hope that the people at the bank were in the proper frame of mind when Mr. Knowles showed up with that many coins at the same time. That sounds like the sort of thing that could either be very fun or very not fun, depending on your attitude.
