Penny Collector

81 year old Ira Keys has been saving his pennies for more than sixty years. Keys says “my father always told me to save my money when i didn't have any”. After saving for more than sixty years he goes to the bank and exchanges the change. Mr. Keys makes over more than eight hundred dollars from over 81,000 copper coins collected over the years. In my opinion i would keep collecting the coins just to make enough to buy something big, i wouldn’t try to stop collecting, maybe pass it down to my children and let them collect too.
