Bank Places 100 'Lucky Pennies' Across US Worth $1,000 Each

from: http://abcnews.go.com/Wei...0-42937865

Stopping to pick up a stray penny off the ground may not seem worth the effort, yet one bank is trying to change that mindset by placing 100 fake pennies across the country worth $1,000 apiece.

Ally Bank says it is hoping to encourage Americans to look for opportunities to save through its "Lucky Penny" promotion, which launched this week. The lucky pennies carry a copper color like real pennies, but feature the Detroit-based bank's logo instead of Abraham Lincoln's head. The flip side of the coin lists its value at 100,000 cents.

The pennies have been placed in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Miami, Denver, Detroit, San Diego, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas.

The coins can be redeemed online until the end of the year. more at link

Wish they were in Kansas City.

My grandma used to say only pick up a penny if it's heads up, it will bring you good luck.

I pick up any penny, heads up or tails up, since my name is penny, they are all good luck. wink

Most of them will go undiscovered especially if there's a deadline attached.
