Watched a bank teller count out $2,300 in pennies for a guy at my branch in Portland yesterday

Honestly 230,000 pennies is wild, @ryan719 probably gets the real headache of finding those things in cupholders for months.

Well isn't that just the perfect way to spend a Tuesday. I'm sure the bank manager was thrilled about that transaction, probably just lighting a cigar and patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Guy walks out with what, 230,000 pennies clanking around in his pockets, takes him three hours to load them into his car. Meanwhile the rest of us are stuck in line waiting to deposit our paychecks while they're still sweeping up loose change off the floor. What a beautiful system we have here.

Did the guy at least get a lollipop from the teller's desk for his trouble? I'm picturing that poor bank manager having to explain to the regional office why they're short 2,300 dollars in loose change and the vault smells like a laundromat floor. Meanwhile, the guy's probably still finding pennies in his car cupholders six months from now.
