Paypal Pennies coming soon

So yesterday, I went to my bank because I had finally moved all the paypal pennies out of paypal. I walked in and told the girl I needed to withdrawl $114.04, but I would like that in pennies. Her head flew way back and said, "what do you need that many pennies for?" I began to tell her, "well, I have a really strange website called sendmepennies.com". She interupted me saying, "what, to get rich?". "Not really" i said, "it's so I can do something really strange with one million pennies. People send me pennies through the mail, paypal, and by clicking ads on the site. People paypal a penny, so that's a digital transaction. I need to make sure that transaction turns into an actual penny, so I can reach One Million." She said, "I think we can do that". So the Supervisor and her went to the back of the bank where they were for about 5 minutes. The supervisor came over and said, "Do you need the penny rolls, or the actual pennies?". "Actual pennies" i said. "Over One Hundred dollars of them?", she replied. I said "YUP!".

So she went in back and came out with about 10 rolls of pennies and said she didnt have as many as I needed, but could offer these. I said, you might as well order them and I will pick them up another day. So the order was placed and I will pick them up sometime around next Wednesday.

It's always fun doing this. This is the second time i've ordered pennies from the bank. Anyone who hears this is astounded that I would want to buy that many pennies. This particular teller thought I was crazy and maybe she's right.
