7. I'm almost 100% sure I didn't make a mistake.
I double-count before putting together every roll.

9. Perhaps you could run 'em through that shredder backwards
and they'd come out in little .50 rolls!

11. Play the penny slots for the rest of you life.
Or ride the penny mechanical pony at Meijer's 24/7 until they put you in the record book.

is a pretty good amount. Find some kids to roll them for you, promising them $5 each, and then cash them in to real money for a big dinner out with friends or family. :D

32. You can dump them in those machines that
count it for you. They keep an 1/8 of a penny. But it is worth it to me.
