My First Thought,

is the floor strong enough?


after all it will have to support the worlds biggest and heaviest penny pyramid, it is all the idea of 

 Corey Nielsen, a middle-aged man from Tolleson, Arizona, who embarked on a journey to build the world’s largest pyramid of stacked pennies, He only had a few thousand coins and a dream at the time, but today he’s inching closer to finally accomplishing his goal, after almost three years of penny stacking, he’s nearly there, Corey who goes by the name of Penny Building Fool on YouTube, is less than 100,000 pennies away from breaking the world record, He’s been documenting his progress through periodically-released videos that show just how far he’s come in the last three years, the base of of his coin behemoth has grown constantly and it is now made up of 65 x 65 rows of stacked pennies,

fast forward to episode 45, Nielsen’s soon-to-be record-breaking coin pyramid currently consists of 938,322 neatly stacked pennies,that’s nearly $10,000 worth of humble pennies, with a combined weight of 5,792 pounds, the patient builder has already received the last 100,000 pennies required to break the Guinness record, and hopes to stack them all onto his giant pyramid by the end of this month, I just hope they do not suffer from earthquakes in Tolleson, Arizona!
