GuyBeardmane Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'm almost 40. I ain't wasting my time farming pennies for a fortune when a million should last me until I die. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) So maybe you'd be able to average 20 pennies per minute. 20x60 = 12 dollars an hour. That's rather shit. Even if you managed to pull one per second, it would only be 36 an hour to do something very tedious. If you treat this as a full time job, at one penny per second for 40 hours a week, it would take you almost 15 years to go over one million. One million dollars it is.

André Toulon Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I think this is structured poorly...in order for it to work, the million would need some sort of negative action as well. You are basically giving me the option of free wealth or work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katt_goddess Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Penny Time! Seriously, if I'm willing to grind for frickin' tumbleweeds on a video game just to get a slight increase in a shield, fear my ability to farm pennies from a magic wallet. I'm hanging that bitch upside down over a bucket whenever I'm bored. The banks will learn to fear my wheelbarrow. Plus, good luck taxing magic pennies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say the pennies will fall out, you have to pull the penny out with the previous penny. Ain't nobody got time for that. My hands will have cramped up before I get 20 dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalar Hex Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I genuinely enjoy that this has become a small discussion. Also you anti-penny people overlook the utility of hiring orphans to sit in a circle around your magic penny wallet taking turns to maximize efficiency of penny pulling. You can pay them a penny an hour each and if any of them get sticky fingers you can tell their handlers to put "thief" on their adoption papers to ward off any potential parents.

Nabreezy Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The thing about this choice is that, yes, maybe you'd do better for yourself to take the million, bet on yourself to invest it right in whatever brings you joy, and come out fully sated. But the magical penny wallet. That's a failsafe for your lineage, a never go broke, infinite wealth recuperation tool that can help build an empire for your family over generations, or at least keep them fat and happy without having to work very hard. True it can be lost or stolen, but so can the lump sum cash, and unlike any portfolio it can be passed down and protected as a magical artifact that will ensure a guaranteed minimum level of wealth for its owner forever. At least until they stop minting the penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalar Hex Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Doing math here stand back ... I'm imagining very efficient quick hands managing 5 pennies per second. 3 dollars per minute. 180 dollars per hour. $4,320 per day. $129,600 per average month. $1,555,200 per year. $87.60 to pay one child in a penny per hour. $438 in total over five kids. Assuming my math isn't absolute shit even with a calculator ( which is absolutely possible ), a million per year is easily possible. EDIT: There's also the consideration that you'd have a free source of whatever metal is used in the pennies. Which, according to those in the US who are currently hoarding them, will be worth more than the penny itself when pennies are officially legal to melt down and sell for the materials themselves. This isn't even considering which type of penny comes out. I maybe should have clarified that a US penny comes out.

So what happens when the US mint realizes the extra million dollars in friggin pennies that shows up every year. Where to I convert this amount of pennies. With my irresponsible farming, I could essentially hoard bills all while just replacing it all with pennies.... impossible in the long run, but assuming no one cared or paid attention, I could completely disassemble our monetary system, thus making my farmed millions worthless. 1mil, pls Edited January 1, 2022 by André Toulon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read that out loud back to yourself.....This can't be a real question. All the trillions of dollars in the world, all the billions of pennies they add into circulation each year -- nobody is going to notice the extra pennies you dug out of your wallet laying around. They're pennies. There's going to be a lot more questions about where you suddenly got a million dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I would probably go with the penny. The million dollars is instant money but you'd eventually make more with the penny and it's infinite money. It's also completely possible to fuck up with a million dollars. I'm sure I can live comfortably with how many pennies I can pull out in a few hours. Edited January 1, 2022 by Sieg67 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamped Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nobody has quick efficient hands to pull out 3 pennies in a second if you have to use a penny to pull out the 2nd penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamped Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Help me understand the sentence because the way I'm reading the options are you get 1 million dollars or there's a magic wallet. You open your wallet to a penny. Everytime you open the wallet there's a penny but you have to use the previous penny to retrieve the new penny. That's how the sentence reads to me. If that's the case there's no way you can pull multiple pennies out in a second consistently enough to make a profit. The options didn't say anything about having to be responsible with the profits. Just seems like working for some pennies would be long and tedious when you could just get a million. You could just start at Jeff Bezos vs slapping packages together in the Amazon warehouse and accumulating cripping back pain for 15 years until you're wearing orthopedic shoes and eating vending machine cupcakes until you get diabetes and a divorce Whether you choose to be a villain or blow it on hookers and cocaine is irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 It's obvious that none of you "penny pinchers" have ever been numismatists. Have you ever had to handle gobs of pennies? My Dad used to buy bags of pennies from the people who put the penny bubble gum dispensers in front of his store. We'd go through them, looking for valuable coins (double dies that nobody noticed, little kids getting into their parent's coin collection). Not only is lugging bags or rolls of pennies around tiresome, handling that copper-clad zinc leaves you tasting & smelling the metals involved for days. The last time I heard of a question like this, it was in HS Home Econ class, but the question was, "Would you rather have a Million dollars, or a penny in a savings account that doubles the balance everyday?" In that case, you should opt for the penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I learned numismatist from an Archie comic. And if the balance doubled every day, then yes....but this is just pennies for no reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
