After seven years of construction, artist Robert Wechsler has finally completed assembly of a giant cube made from 100,000 pennies. Each individual penny has four notches cut from its sides at 90-degree angles so they could be assembled K’Nex style into sheets, then stacked into this 540-pound cube. Damn, 100,000 pennies — what is that, like $10,000? “It’s $1,000.” I knew that, I was thinking dimes. “Were you though?” I was not. I’m a blogger, not a mathologist.
