This makes no sense at all. It would be 35,000 pennies, or 700 rolls (50 pennies per roll). Where the heck did you come up with 26,000?]]>Mar 16th 2009 7:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/03/16/man-pays-350-electric-bill-with-pennies-electric-co-not-amus/http://www.switched.com/2009/03/16/man-pays-350-electric-bill-with-pennies-electric-co-not-amus/Mar 16th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/03/16/man-pays-350-electric-bill-with-pennies-electric-co-not-amus/http://www.switched.com/2009/03/16/man-pays-350-electric-bill-with-pennies-electric-co-not-amus/ummm they could only count $26 in 2 hours??? wow

When you have to count pennies, time goes VERY slow! It does seem they should have been able to count to more than 2,600 in two hours though. It actually works out to something like counting 22 pennies per minute.

In today's economy money spent by the government is counted in hundreds of billions with a national deficit of something like 10 trillion dollars. Just as a point of reference... if a person was to begin counting one dollar bills at the rate of two dollars per second, non stop, no sleeping, no eating and no bathroom breaks, 24/7/365... it would take MORE than 15,854 years just to get to one trillion dollars... but this nation is in debt of TEN trillion dollars.

So, if someone could actually count two dollars per second, non stop... it would take LONGER than homo sapiens have walked the earth just to count our national debt!
