Inside the Mind of an Insane Penny Addict
Otha Anders, 73, of Ruston, Louisiana, recently cashed in 45 years worth of collected pennies, netting himself $5,136.14—meager payment for a lifetime spent being driven slowly insane by the pursuit of pennies.
Anders said his penny pile began to grow and he ultimately stopped spending pennies and always made sure whenever he made a purchase, his change contained at least three to four pennies.
“I would never spend a penny,” he said. “I would break a dollar before giving up a penny.”
Anders said he would be truly remiss if he did not acknowledge his friend, Jack ‘Domino Kid’ Brown, for helping him with his penny collection.
“Jack saved nickels as I saved pennies and every nickel that passed through my hands I would save for him,” he said. “He did likewise with pennies for me.”
It doesn’t make sense Otha!!!!!!!!!
