Penny Art

There is someone out there who has created a large image of Lincoln out of pennies here. I'm glad he's got so much time and money on his hands.  I would never have the patience.

100 pennies or 1 dollar coin?

Would you prefer a single $1 coin or 100 one cent coins?  Hopefully you'd choose the former and not the latter.  Otherwise, why are you even reading this blog?  I would guess that the vast majority would like the dollar coin. Those who would take the pennies are probably under 6 years old.  Now that we've established that, how many pennies would it take for you to choose the pennies over the dollar coin?  If someone offered you 101 pennies or a $1 coin which would you take?  I'd still take the dollar coin myself.  What about 110 pennies vs 1 dollar coin?  125 pennies?  200 pennies? 500 pennies?  What is your threshold? Do you even have a threshold?  Mine is probably around 500 pennies.  I'd probably take 500 pennies over a dollar coin...if they were rolled.
