Gas Station Owner Has A lot of Cents

[dgridley]

FLOMATON, Ala. - Edmond Knowles started out saving pennies in a 5-gallon can. Thirty-eight years later, he was storing them in four 55-gallon drums and three 20-gallon drums — nearly 1.4 million in all.

Knowles, who runs a gas station, cashed them in Wednesday, pocketing $13,804.59 after they were counted at a bank.

See? Saving coins in a piggy bank still works! :D

You just gotta encash them before the next monetary update, though.
