Ever wonder what a million, billion, trillion, etc pennies would look like?

Fun fact I calculated just because I was bored:

If a Ryedale was continuously running at 18,000 pennies an hour, it would only take about 2.29 days or 55.55 hours to sort 1 million pennies. Yet it would take about 6.34 YEARS to sort 1 billion pennies.

Which is why I say a Ryedale can pay for itself in less than a month. truly.

Of course, of those 1 Million pennies sorted only 20% or so would be copper.

But I am getting close to 1 million pennies stored in my garage. Not there yet, but you will hear the whoop when I reach it. :-)

(Busy time for me, so not adding any to the stock right now. Hoipefully this summer i'll reach 1 Million though)
