Someday he will kick himself for getting rid of the raw metals....

jew

^^ he probably spent it all on Bagels.

according to the article: 'four 55-gallon drums and three 20-gallon drums'

and according to the mega pennie project: '1,003,776
One million, three thousand, seven hundred and seventy-six Pennies
[ A wall five by four by one feet thick with a 9-inch cube stepstool ]'

one of them is lying.

or them 55 gallon drums weren't anywhere near full.

1380459 pennies:

5'x 4'x 1' = 20 cuft x 1.4 = +/-28 cubic feet

1 US gallon = 0.133680556 cubic feet

x55 gallons = 7.35243058
x4 drums = 29.40972232

+

x20 gallons = 2.67361112
x3 drums = 8.02083336

= 37.43055568 cubic feet

he's got more than a 55 gallon drum of air in his pile o' pennies

even if he's using nominal 55-gallon drums that are actually only 44 imperial gallons, he's still got like three and a half cubic feet (or one and a third 20 gallon drums) of unused drum.

x44 gallons = 5.881944464
x4 drums = 23.527777856

= 31.548611216 cubic feet

holy shit barch

Could be possible...there is no accounting for voids in your calculations.

9 cubic feet of voids?

what the HELL!! lol
bored barch??

yeah, I guess.

It just immediately reminded me of that mega penny project site and when I looked at their example of 1M pennies, it looked significantly smaller than FOUR 55 GALLON drums... so, I investigated a little further...

and, as usual, the press fucked up an otherwise heart warming story. now this poor sap will forever be known as an exagerator.
