When I lived in Atlanta, I save my pennies for 6 years.
When I was ready to move back to FL, I had 3, 5 gallon water bottles FILLED with nothing but pennies. I had to make an appointment at the bank at the slowest time to cash them in. (A Wednesday afternoon at 2pm). I had to get a dolly to move the bottles and my friend and I used his truck to transport them.We barely got them into the truck. We had to get 2 other guys from the bank to help lift these things when we got there.
I think the amount I had deposited into my account was close to $1,000.
