June 29th, 2019: Penny Building Fool

Cory Nielsen aka the Penny Building Fool, has completed all by himself a record-breaking penny pyramid.
Stacking 1,030,315 pennies over the course of 3 years won the award.
In real-time his total is 1.8 years building it.
He took approximately 425 days off during construction.
It measures 65 stacks by 65 stacks by 65 stacks high.
Each stack contains 11 pennies.
It’s free stacked, meaning no glue, welding or anything.
The pyramid weighs 6,360 lbs or 2,884 kg.



Built in his home in Phoenix, Arizona, one report says in his cellar and another says his garage, but probably not saying more than that.
Can you imagine how many people are salivating at the thought of breaking in and kicking that pile of pennies to hell.
Just from cussedness my Granny would say

I want to know what now? How long would it take to roll a million pennies?
It can’t be moved intact so I has to come apart, give it to charity and tell them to come get it?
After the Guinness people and the press move on what does he say?
Will he say, “That’s over $10,000”, or will he say, “That’s only $10,000.”

Time lapse of the build...
