Whats the most you have ever paid for somethingin pennies?
When i was in high school we ordered a pizza, and paid for it with pennies. it came out to like 14 bucks in pennies. The delivery guy was so pissed that he wouldnt take his nine dollar tip...........BTW......it was in pennies too.

probably about $15.00 worth for food when i was in an EXTREMELY rough spot in my life. and over4-5 days.
i ended up living off of change for 2 months and was practically homeless at one time.
so, take my advice and start a 401(k) and save up some money...you never know when you'll lose your job, but spent money like you never would lose it.
i made $50,000 a year (as an electrical engineer) and partied like a **** star and never saved a a dollar of it. luckily i had spare change left from parties, gas, food, hoes, bars, buyin tricks jewelry, whatever, over a 3 month period, which amounted to about $22.00. that kept me from starving after my job evaporated.
LOL.. lesson learned.
now i make the tricks and hoes buy ME jewelry.
needless to say, i appreciate all my toys and belongings now to such a degree, its unfathomable to most.

[sm=jawdrop.gif]WOW! Sorry to hear that. I was in kind of a similar situation. not quite as bad but semi close. My roommate and i had to go grocery shopping at the dollar store with the 28 bucks we had between the 2 of us. I too am very thankful for all that i have.

haha well when i deliveried pizza i would put all the change that i got from deliveries in a milk jug. well when it was full i would go to coin star, and one time i had 90 bucks in change. and i went and got my nipples pierced. I had no problem when ppl gave me just coins for their food as long as it was rolled. or somehow seperated so i could count it
