Reminds me of the movie, Pay It Forward. This is probably the most successful installation I've seen, where people collectively donate to the pool. Every person that walked by must have thrown change into this pool of pennies. Since 1991, this organization has raised at least $5.9 million since 1991. 71 million pennies weigh at least 2 tons and is worth at least $711,000.00. There are some prized if you can guess how many pennies are in the pool.
So far Penny Harvests have hit 5 states, including NY, Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, and Washington.
You can even vote on which cause you want the Penny Harvest to donate to:
