One Million Pennies

I still wonder what we did before the internet. How would be understand what the heck one million pennies looked like? The picture is a visual representation of what one million pennies would look like. Even more fun is this web site's rendition of what ten billion pennies, or even one hundred billion pennies is like.

I wonder, if I fished behind all the couch cushions here in West Seattle, and collected only the pennies, would I have a million pennies?
