Since its the beginning the u. s mint has produced over 288.7 billion pennies.
a) what if we lined these pennies up? how long would the line be?
b) the mint currently makes about 30 million pennies a day. how many is this per second? how many is this per year

A penny/coin is 0.75 inches in diameter.
