The sound from the coins made everyone look at him instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otha Anders, the coin master, was part of the Jackson school Board as a supervisor. Children who were suspended were sent to him, and they were quite fond of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anders had a wife and kids, and they support him every step of the way, but his hobby was a bit questionable\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An activity that started as a fun task, grew into a hobby, a type of obsession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dailystorya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1_Customer-Extraordinaire-1024x574-1-300x168.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anders believes that every penny he finds is a sign of God telling him to be grateful. On the days he didn\u2019t pray he would almost always find a penny. According to him, that was the way God was telling him to be grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most people make a wish on a penny, Anders, as a man of faith, said prayers on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI became convinced that spotting a lost or dropped penny was an additional God-given incentive reminding me to always be thankful,\u201d Anders told USA Today. \u201cThere have been days where I failed to pray and more often than not, a lost or dropped penny would show up to remind me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dailystorya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2_Otha-Anders-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For 45 years he stacked them in five-gallon plastic water jugs. He guessed that he stacked hundreds of thousand of dollars, but he was going to discover soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They brought the gallons to the bank and the employees had a fun day experiencing something they\u2019ve never done before. They cut out the pennies out of the water jugs using a hammer and an ax. After five hours of cutting and counting on the coin-counting machine they had a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dailystorya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/9_Seventy-Five-Gallons-1024x537-1-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The total amount of pennies Anders had saved over 45 years was $5,136.14! That\u2019s about 114.4$ per year. Who would\u2019ve thought collecting pennies as a hobby could get an \u201cold car\u201d in 45 years?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Anders spent his money to settle a dental bill he just received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was happy to spend the money on something useful. With the leftover funds he sponsored a family trip and donations to the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please SHARE this interesting news with your Friends and Family on FACEBOOK!<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He walked in the bank with a dolly rolling along with him.
