Stacking pennies is an awesome waste of time. I found this website called Pictures of Pennies. There are more than 20 pages of pictures of stacked pennies. I thought hey, I can do this. The following are some photos of my first attempt.

What I did first was make a stack of pennies 10 coins high. Then I held two more coins edge to edge between my thumb and first finger. Then I positioned one more coin over the space where the other two coins met. All three coins are now held between my thumb and first finger. I then carefully lay the three coins on top of the stack of ten. My stack now looks like the picture above.

I continued the previous step several times.

To widen my stack of pennies, I carefully slid more pennies in the empty spaces on either side of the stack. I had to be careful because if I added too many on one side, the stack would fall over.

I am able to add more pennies for one more layer out without the whole stack falling over.

I think you should try it now.
