Dave Ramsey Would Be Proud

Not of me-I wish I could add to that.

I'm talking about this guy: Ohio Man Buys New Truck with Thousands of Coins.
CINCINNATI - An Ohio man who says he doesn't trust paper money has delivered enough coins to cover half the price of a brand new pickup truck.

Can you imagine? Incredible. I wonder how much all of those coins weighed...ha!
(By the way, the remainder of the truck was paid for, same day, with a check.)

LOL!!

As a banker, I can attest to the fact that a standard box of quarters ($500) weighs 25 pounds.

I know the man used a mixture of coins (including dollar coins), but if we assume that he used quarters only, the total weight would have been in excess of 400 pounds!!
