I get so many emails regarding this project, I will have to share some of them with you. If you have something to say about this website, let me know through my simple to use contact form.
From: Anonymous You are truly an idiot, you are lower then the scum off the streets
From: Farennikov dude, get a job you can actually learn web design in a couple months and build yourself a real homepage!
From: Eden You are completely insane and most likely extremely lazy. I like that.
From: Joe OK will do
From: A guy that thinks 1 million pennies = 10 million dollars give me a break. you're doing nothing more than begging. looking for ten million dollars. If you want to watch sales people react, just go to your bank, cash out 10 million and get it all in pennies. OR GET A JOB
From: Anonymous GET A LIFE AND A JOB YOU LAZY GIT- AND IF YOU ALREADY GOT BOTH -GET BETTER ONES.
From: Harlen we dop not use pennies or 5 doller bills here cause it
got lincoln on em we are not looking on that trader to kindly
but good luck
From: Bobby After reading all these malicious attempts to get you
to stop what you are doing. You have given a perfect explanation
to why you are doing this. They are all just mad because they didnt think of it first. So get over it world wide web.
From: Johnny I have just read through your recent mail bag. Are people really that dense, retarded and cheap that they will literally CRY about sending you a penny via snail mail? Then those idiots should use paypal. Personally if you don't have anything constructive to say for a fun cool idea, just shut the hell up! I wish those lazy folks would get off their own ass and do something for themselves. They apparently have time to blast you. Good luck in your endeavors.
From: Tom C I can't believe so many idiots have already encouraged you. Of course, you are laughing all the way to the bank, so good for you, you lazy prick. But honestly, do you think anyone really will care enough to turn your weasely idea into a TV special or something? I sure hope not.
From: Viewpoint your nuts....postage- perhaps a trip to P.O. whose got the time
From: Toni Great idea, and it would cost me thirty-nine additional pennies to mail it to you!!!!!!!! You go figure! Go get a job! I don't think your scam is anywhere near unique.
From: Chef Let me see...You want me to spend 37 cents for postage and another nickle for an envelope..total 42 cents..to send you a penny.so you can spend $10,000. I have a better Idea. when you collect the 10 grand, send it to me . I will forward it to the widow of the unknown soldier.
From: Anonymous Do u realize how much postage is??? Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Anonymous sounds like a spam to me. you have no address,phone no. or charity id #. i have contacted the FBI to see if you are legal.
From: Tom Love the concept. Instead of mailing you some pennies
or sending GL
From: Mike Just that I'd let you know what a breath of fresh air your "Penny Plea" site is! Love it. Just my two cents worth, or in this case make it four cents via PayPal;-)
From: Elsa what a bunch of cheap asses, lol. i am sooo amused by the people who are complaining and bitching. i can soooooooooo see how losing .40 would cause an economical breakdown in your lives. dude. lmao
From: Mike Great job dude. There might have been a much faster way to get 10k, but at least you're moving forward. Nothing more, nothing less...great job.
From: Niceguy GIVE UP. PUT YOUR ENERGY IN CHARITABLE WORK.
From: Nathan This is a stupid idea and I hope you never get one million pennys. Get a life loser. You're only at a little more than $500.00 right now. Haha you suck.
From: Jason F. what kind of idiot... either way, i think (a mental process allowing one to... think) this site is a great idea. as one visitor graciously pointed out you have put some passion and THOUGHT into this project. therefore, logic would dictate you are an educated person of whom i can have the utmost respect for, but one who is deserving of my penny(s)! that being said, good luck and god bless. jason f.
From: Tonya M. Ingenuity always brightens my day. I really thought this was a big scam or advertisement for a success program. I can't imagine why I followed the link. I plan on bringing my daughter to the site and having her figure out how much a million pennies could be worth. Then she can send a penny, knowing she is being a part of someone thinking out of the box. That isn't SPENDING money, that is INVESTING it. It is being a part of something with potential. Hey folks, one of the best ways in the world to help people is to help fund new thinkers! They come up with beneficial ways of doing things! They are philanthropists! (FYI, those are people who have 'enough' money that they can sink huge amounts into things that are purely for enjoyment, with no financial benefit.) And they are the people that make this country so innovative. Keep it going!
From: Josh I read through a lot of the fanmail/hatemail and basically just laughed. I think your creativity deserves two thumbs up. Donate it to charity? Ha-ha-ha. I bet the people who told you that probably have nothing to do with any charities and just wanted to say that to make themselves sound big. You decided to go with this project and it's your money and you can do whatever you want with it. I hope you get the 1,000,000 pennies. That's what the USA is all about. If you have a good idea and it works, go for it! Good Luck with it all.
From: Alton Gee, let me see if i can figure this math out, i send
you a penny and it
From: Lex This website is such a great idea. I've spent a little time today looking over the site. I read every letter posted in the Fanmail/Hatemail section. It really amazes me that people are pissed off about this or demanding that you donate this money to a charity. Why should you donate it to a charity? You were very upfront about the fact that these pennies would be going into your pocket. The people who have donated pennies KNEW that and still chose to send their pennies. That's the CHOICE people, send a penny or don't. The same way we chose to give to charities or a homeless person begging on the street or not. If you don't like that he's putting this money in his own pocket, or concerned about him using your penny for some ilicit or immoral purpose, DON'T send the penny, close the webpage and go back to whatever you were doing before you saw it. If you want to yell at people for misuse of funds, why not direct your anger towards people and organizations that make millions off the hard earned wages of thousands of Americans - companies like Enron, WorldCom, Tyco International and Adelphia, where they line their own pockets and ruin the financial security of their employees in one fell swoop. There is such a thing in America as "the working poor." You can have a job and still not make ends meet. . .hell, you can work two jobs and also have a spouse who works and still have difficulties with the bottom line. I think this website is just another facet of American ingeniuty. He's not scamming anyone, just giving them a choice, and it's fun at the same time. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to watching the video! -Lex
From: Tammy Congratulations on your creativity. For all those who mock you, there are many who silently admire your imagination. For that I support you and am sending 100 pennies to join the cause and support Universal creativity. Have fun as that is what life is about! (and well worth a penny or more!)
From: Dirksen-Molloy Productions Money is one of the most controversial elements of society. How it is accumulated, how it is disseminated. For personal profit, personal stability or humanitarian efforts, money is the base of modern existence. You are judged by your income and financial prosperity, it will place your status in society whether you like it or not. Some strive for a living, some strive for prosperity, some strive for peace... It all costs the same. You exchange monetary representations for goods and services. Every aspect of human life, whether paying your rent or the UN providing much needed relief to ravaged areas of our planet, it all comes down to money... and more importantly individual support. Whether sending pennies to an individual or giving a homeless person a couple of bucks or providing a meal to the needy over the holidays, it’s how you perceive the world. Where you want to send your support is an individual decision. But I believe the most important thing about sendmepennies.com has been lost in all this discussion… the fun and whimsy of such an endeavor. Can you imagine showing up with a truckload of pennies at the US Federal Reserve? They must accept the pennies as legal tender as any other financial institution. They may ask the pennies to be rolled into $.50 packages, but they must respect pennies as legal tender. We all know that it cost the US Government more than $.01 to produce a single penny and that the US Treasury is advocating the elimination of the single cent monetary denomination. Bringing the value of one cent to the fore of conversation is an important endeavor and not to be approached lightly. I am proud to be a small part of this “silly idea”. It is fun, and for those who think that the measly $10.000 trying to be raised is going to impact donations to “Viable Non-Profit Organizations” Well all I can say is our non-profit accepts donations whatever the denomination, and I’m sure the Red Cross will accept even the smallest donation of a few pennies, (Canadian or otherwise) and would be appreciative. Onward to One Million Pennies! Donator of 5 pennies
From: Proud Canadian You guys are wonderful in the U.S.A., Let me just say....
From: Anonymous Such Chutzpah (Yes, this was where this email ended)
From: diggitydandog I just absorbed a recent fact, that less than 8% of all charitys go toward the poor and needy. It's the third year of declining numbersfor these charitys. Another disturbing one is that Yale and Harvard have a savings account with over 35 Billion. How wealthy are you trying to be? Why not enjoy what you have, and try to help out other human beings. Death to the greedy ;-)
From: Frank I want to start this off by telling you that you have taken a very simple idea and done very well. As you say generally people really do not consider pennies as worth very more. When I was working as a manager for a large company our department decided to have penny wars. The team with the largest amount by weeks end would win the grand prize. It was a simple idea that turned into a nightmare. Why because the bank would not take the bags of pennies we had. They stated that it would be too time consuming for them to deal with it and wouldn't you know they directed us to the coin machines at the local supermarket. We did and 50% of the pennies were rejected. Lucky for us we had other change in the bags and were able pass out the prizes. Now on to my gripe... Thumbs up to you and good luck in your endeavors.
From: CHAR You have a great idea and go with it every one who has
negative comments about your website is jealous and upset that
they did not think of it first let everyone know how much was
donated to the people who were effected by the hurricanes. Those
with negative comments probably did nothing to help their fellow
Americans financially or mentally or in prayer.
From: Michelle Wow! What a good idea. Dont worry I wont steel your idea. I think you are nuts but smart at the same time. How long before you make 10K do you think? Do you think you will ever make it??? Has anyone stole your idea??? Im sure they have. Good luck!!!! If you are nice to write back I will throw you some pennies and pass your website on. 
From: Peter i know you are not seriously going to take the pennies in garbage cans to the bank, but a million pennies would weigh over 3 tons.
From: Anonymous You're a $%#&!. Why the hell should I send you money? Anyone who does is a stupid %*&#.
From: Devon I collect pennies too, but it is for the PBF. which is pretty much a glass jar in which me and my sister charge our friends pennies to come over. The PBF stands for Poor Basement Fund and we are just trying to raise money to buy posters or cool lights. Anyways collecting pennies is fun. Cool site.
From: Ilana this is stupid...people need that change...you
can put it in a coin sorter and you can save them up...plus when
the government spends $9 million making pennies they make about
180 billion pennies
From: Jason Atleast you have something, what about those thousands of kids that die everyday due to lack of food or medicine, THEY CAN ALSO USE JUST A PENNY!!!This site should be shut down if it were up to me, you make me sick!!!
From: Anonymous your a #@%! get a better job, you're like a black guy trying to money from other people
From: Anonymous You're a greedy #$*%, get a real job and stop begging for strangers' money. Ever thought of donating any of that free cash you get? %$$#*!@.
From: Anonymous Want a penny?? how about a bunch? how about 50,000 pennies? yes? WELL GET A #%@*& JOB U INGRATE. fargin leech... a real person would take ALLLLLL the earnings from a bull$#*! scam like this and donate every last cent to various charities around the world. loser...
From: Anonymous Why dont you have an area in your FAQ on why you deserve the money over a poor child in Africa, or someone from New Orleans. You %$$#*@!
From: TJ Mach i sent you a penny...now this video better be good or i'm going to report you to paypal's fraud department...and i'll probably want a refund. :]
From: Matt F. i think its really cool what ur doing cept i am a lil kid and cant use pay pall and all that stuff but i have always wanted to do something like this so good luck
From: Anonymous ok heres the deal, you send me fifty dollers and Ill send you fifty pennies. huh? what do you say? deal?
From: Sid You are brilliant! Great Idea! I have to set up a pay pal account and I'll be sending mine.
From: Tom It figures you're a Cally guy/person. Probably just spending it on some great crippy. Can I send a check for a penny instead?
From: Larry I work hard too. The difference between you and me is
PRIDE. You have none. PRIDE would never allow for me to ever hold
my pathetic hand out like this. I hope you get the money because
you are too unmotivated to earn it yourself.
From: Anonymous How about I send you a sack of my $#!&t?
From: Scotty I'll give you 100,000 pennies if you let me fly to your house and (explitive removed) for an hour. Deal?
From: Some nutcase You are the worst person in the world. I cant beleive that you made this website and are asking for peoples money!! The government should mealt the copper and use it as aid for the Katrina victums. I have studied a little science and they could use the weight of the pennies to help fill the oil gaps in the ocean. The point that I have made is that pennies are not worthless and they should not go to a bumb so that you can go drinking. You should feel ashamed!!!
From: Anonymous u really suck. come on. the only way to earn money is thru your hard earned self. no other way u noob. just work even harder if u want money. life sucks. so live with it.
From: Josh You know you aren't too old to join the military. I live
on a base in Japan. We dont use pennies here at all we round to
the nearest nickel. It would be too expensive for the military
to ship pennies here. Come join the Air Force. I have no college
and I probably make 3 times what you make by working on jets.
Get a life and step up to the plate. So many people are poor throughout
the world, who gives a $#!% about your wedding plans or your rent.
Get a better job. A1C xxxx
