One hundred million American pennies ($1 million dollars) look exactly like 100 million Irish pennies; all brown and copper like. Except this sea of pennies are laid out in a square box in Rockefeller Center in mid-town Manhattan.
The Penny Harvest Field, as the exhibit is called was unveiled on Monday (12/10) and measures 30 x 165 feet. The pennies were collected by school children for charity. Over 800 schools participated in the drive that began on October 22 and ended at the end of November. The non-profit ‘Common Sense’ organized the event to teach children about charity and giving to those less fortunate.
