Are you a Penny
hoarder?
We have all suffered from
this affliction at one point
or another. The
subconscious act of simply
dumping one pennies into a
jar or other black hole type
containers! In this site you
will find economic reasons,
constructive fun, and
charitable options in ridding
this uncontrollable urge.
The "Penny Pyramid
Project" is also here to
promote and educate that
the penny continues to be
a very important
denomination and that
there are ways to
responsibly Collect, Build,
and Donate this commonly
hoarded coin.

Cancer and the
Penny Pyramid
Project.
Colorectal Cancer is the
#2 cancer killer of men
and women in the U.S.
There are approximately
145,000 new cases of
colon cancer and 56,000
deaths in the US alone
each year. Just one
simple screening can
help prevent a lifetime of
pain and suffering.
It is the projects goal to
build momentum and
awareness on new
technologies such as
capsule endoscopy
(PillcamTM), and all other
types of screening and
testing that can catch
this disease at a very
treatable stage. Our
vision of "Collect, Build,
Donate" through penny
collection drives will help
pave the way in getting
this word out. This is
just one way we will be
putting our smallest
denomination to work!
Along with the Penny
Pyramid World record
attempt, there will be
other fun and interactive
events that you can
share in,... stay tuned!
