He entered the bank while a dolly followed in his wake. Everyone looked at him at once when the sound of the coins was heard.
The coin master, Otha Anders, served as a supervisor for the Jackson School Board. He was the one to whom suspended children were sent, and they grew to love him.
Anders’s spouse and children were by his side throughout, but he had a somewhat dubious interest.
Something that began as a fun project developed into a passion, almost like an obsession.
Anders thinks that God is teaching him to be thankful with every penny he finds. He nearly always found a penny on the days he didn’t pray. He felt that was how God was directing him to express his gratitude.
Anders was a man of faith, thus he said prayers on the penny when most people would just wish for anything.
“I came to believe that finding a misplaced or dropped penny served as an extra divine prompt to always express gratitude,” Anders stated to USA Today.”There have been days when I have neglected to pray, and almost without fail, a misplaced or dropped penny has appeared to remind me.”
He kept them in five-gallon plastic water jugs for forty-five years. He surmised that he had hundreds of thousands of dollars stashed away, but he would soon find out.
The staff members had a great day trying something new when they carried the gallons to the bank. They used an ax and hammer to chop the pennies out of the water bottles. They had a number after five hours of chopping and counting on the coin counter.
Anders had saved $5,136.14 in pennies over the course of 45 years! That comes to roughly 114.4$ annually. In forty-five years, who would have imagined that a pastime of collecting pennies might result in a “old car”?
Anders, however, used his money to pay off a recent dental bill.
He was glad to put the money toward a worthwhile purchase. He used the remaining cash to support a family vacation and church donations.

WATCH : Legendary rocker Ted Nugent was shredding the National Anthem on his guitar while performing for the Trucker Convoy
Legendary rocker Ted Nugent was shredding the National Anthem on his guitar while performing for the Trucker Convoy that’s heading to the southern border.
Ted Nugent wowed his music fans as the audience cheered and sounded like they were having a great time at the rally. Nugent then wowed the crowd a second time, but not with his guitar. Nugent had something else in mind!
My heart is broke right now, Nugent started, and I’d like to start by speaking to all the veterans out there, all the Iaw enforcement officers, and the citizens who took an oath to the sacred Constitution… I’d like to apologize to ‘We the People’ for allowing this piece of s*** to get into the White House.
The crowd roared its approval, no surprise given that so many had traveled as part of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy to show support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts to string razor wire along highIy trafficked areas, only to see those wires cut down by federal officials.
