Man, I wasn’t even close! Congrats to the winners.

The only change machine we have in P.A. is a Coinstar in the local Safeway that keeps breaking down. Not nearly as cool as the Penny Arcade.

Jason, did you venture a guess with Miss Penny Arcade before commencing the counting? Commerce Bank rewards you with a free pen or plastic red bank shaped like a C or at least a red lollipop if you’re close.

There was way more in that jar than I thought – good for you! No shirt for me.

Congrats, winners! This definitely serves as inspiration to save my pennies. I calculated that I spend about $900 a year on Diet Coke (which, as a grad student, is about 1/12 my salary. Yikes! So, the first thing I thought when I heard the total was, “that’s 263 3/4 Diet Cokes!” Hopefully the owner will find something better to purchase with his pocket change.

So close but yet so far! I was $7.96 too high. Dang it.

Did they charge you a transaction fee? If they did, was it already removed from the total you were given?

Wow, the Penny Arcade is more awesome than I imagined. BofA has nothing fun like that. I might need to switch over.
