I get so many emails
regarding this project, I will have to share some of them with
you. If you have something to say about this website, let me know
through my simple to use contact form.

From: Eden
You are completely insane and most likely extremely lazy.

From: Joe
OK will do

such chutzpah deserves a reward

Joe

From: A guy that thinks 1 million
pennies = 10 million dollars
give me a break. you're doing nothing more than begging.
looking for ten million dollars. If you want to watch sales people
react, just go to your bank, cash out 10 million and get it all
in pennies. OR GET A JOB

After reading all these malicious attempts to get you
to stop what you are doing. You have given a perfect explanation
to why you are doing this.
I for one always pass up a penny on the floor because its just
a penny.
This shows how mindless people are to a very good idea.
They are all just mad because they didnt think of it
first. So get over it world wide web.

From: Johnny
I have just read through your recent mail bag. Are people
really that dense, retarded and cheap that they will literally
CRY about sending you a penny via snail mail? Then those idiots
should use paypal. Personally if you don't have anything constructive
to say for a fun cool idea, just shut the hell up! I wish those
lazy folks would get off their own ass and do something for themselves.
They apparently have time to blast you. Good luck in your endeavors.

From: Tom C
I can't believe so many idiots have already encouraged
you. Of course, you are laughing all the way to the bank, so good
for you, you lazy prick. But honestly, do you think anyone really
will care enough to turn your weasely idea into a TV special or
something? I sure hope not.

From: Viewpoint
your nuts....postage- perhaps a trip to P.O. whose got
the time

From: Toni
Great idea, and it would cost me thirty-nine additional
pennies to mail it to you!!!!!!!! You go figure! Go get a job!
I don't think your scam is anywhere near unique.

From: Chef
Let me see...You want me to spend 37 cents for postage
and another nickle for an envelope..total 42 cents..to send you
a penny.so you can spend $10,000. I have a better Idea. when you
collect the 10 grand, send it to me . I will forward it to the
widow of the unknown soldier.

From: Anonymous
Do u realize how much postage is??? Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From: Anonymous
sounds like a spam to me. you have no address,phone no.
or charity id #. i have contacted the FBI to see if you are legal.

From: Tom
Love the concept. Instead of mailing you some pennies
or sending
a PayPal payment, I clicked on all your Google Adword advertisements.
That
should be worth $.50 or so. You should let everyone know to click
on them.
We're lazy bastards for the most part but anyone can click a few
links for
you.

From: Mike
Just that I'd let you know what a breath of fresh air
your "Penny Plea" site is! Love it. Just my two cents
worth, or in this case make it four cents via PayPal;-)

From: Elsa
what a bunch of cheap asses, lol. i am sooo amused by
the people who are complaining and bitching. i can soooooooooo
see how losing .40 would cause an economical breakdown in your
lives. dude. lmao

From: Mike
Great job dude. There might have been a much faster way
to get 10k, but at least you're moving forward. Nothing more,
nothing less...great job.

From: Niceguy
GIVE UP. PUT YOUR ENERGY IN CHARITABLE WORK.

From: Nathan
This is a stupid idea and I hope you never get one million
pennys. Get a life loser. You're only at a little more than $500.00
right now. Haha you suck.

From: Jason F.
what kind of idiot...
...is going to criticise anyone for having an idea? Really now,
if you read even half of the mail on the fan/hatemail page you'll
notice some very interesting things. for starters, those who support
this site are seemingly educated(one can discern this by observing
the use of language and proper spelling?!,) whereas those who
object or come off as offended by this 'notion,' are LAZY. their
profficient use of slang is the leading clue. and if they truley
work as hard as they say they do i wonder what it is they do?
surley not something which would earn them anything worth boasting.
either way, i think (a mental process allowing one to...
think) this site is a great idea. as one visitor graciously pointed
out you have put some passion and THOUGHT into this project. therefore,
logic would dictate you are an educated person of whom i can have
the utmost respect for, but one who is deserving of my penny(s)!
that being said, good luck and god bless.

Ingenuity always brightens my day. I really thought this
was a big scam or advertisement for a success program. I can't
imagine why I followed the link. I plan on bringing my daughter
to the site and having her figure out how much a million pennies
could be worth. Then she can send a penny, knowing she is being
a part of someone thinking out of the box. That isn't SPENDING
money, that is INVESTING it. It is being a part of something with
potential.
Hey folks, one of the best ways in the world to help
people is to help fund new thinkers! They come up with beneficial
ways of doing things! They are philanthropists! (FYI, those are
people who have 'enough' money that they can sink huge amounts
into things that are purely for enjoyment, with no financial benefit.)
And they are the people that make this country so innovative.
Keep it going!

From: Josh
I read through a lot of the fanmail/hatemail and basically
just laughed. I think your creativity deserves two thumbs up.
Donate it to charity? Ha-ha-ha. I bet the people who told you
that probably have nothing to do with any charities and just wanted
to say that to make themselves sound big. You decided to go with
this project and it's your money and you can do whatever you want
with it. I hope you get the 1,000,000 pennies. That's what the
USA is all about. If you have a good idea and it works, go for
it! Good Luck with it all.

From: Alton
Gee, let me see if i can figure this math out, i send
you a penny and it
costs me 39 cents (stamp) /
I loose 40 cents...WOW

From: Lex
This website is such a great idea. I've spent a little
time today looking over the site. I read every letter posted in
the Fanmail/Hatemail section. It really amazes me that people
are pissed off about this or demanding that you donate this money
to a charity. Why should you donate it to a charity?
You were very upfront about the fact that these pennies
would be going into your pocket. The people who have donated pennies
KNEW that and still chose to send their pennies.
That's the CHOICE people, send a penny or don't. The
same way we chose to give to charities or a homeless person begging
on the street or not. If you don't like that he's putting this
money in his own pocket, or concerned about him using your penny
for some ilicit or immoral purpose, DON'T send the penny, close
the webpage and go back to whatever you were doing before you
saw it.
If you want to yell at people for misuse of funds, why
not direct your anger towards people and organizations that make
millions off the hard earned wages of thousands of Americans -
companies like Enron, WorldCom, Tyco International and Adelphia,
where they line their own pockets and ruin the financial security
of their employees in one fell swoop.
There is such a thing in America as "the working
poor." You can have a job and still not make ends meet. .
.hell, you can work two jobs and also have a spouse who works
and still have difficulties with the bottom line. I think this
website is just another facet of American ingeniuty. He's not
scamming anyone, just giving them a choice, and it's fun at the
same time.
I wish you the best of luck and look forward to watching
the video!

Congratulations on your creativity. For all those who
mock you, there are many who silently admire your imagination.
For that I support you and am sending 100 pennies to join the
cause and support Universal creativity. Have fun as that is what
life is about! (and well worth a penny or more!)

Money is one of the most controversial elements of society.
How it is accumulated, how it is disseminated. For personal profit,
personal stability or humanitarian efforts, money is the base
of modern existence. You are judged by your income and financial
prosperity, it will place your status in society whether you like
it or not. Some strive for a living, some strive for prosperity,
some strive for peace... It all costs the same. You exchange monetary
representations for goods and services. Every aspect of human
life, whether paying your rent or the UN providing much needed
relief to ravaged areas of our planet, it all comes down to money...
and more importantly individual support. Whether sending pennies
to an individual or giving a homeless person a couple of bucks
or providing a meal to the needy over the holidays, it’s
how you perceive the world. Where you want to send your support
is an individual decision.
But I believe the most important thing about sendmepennies.com
has been lost in all this discussion… the fun and whimsy
of such an endeavor. Can you imagine showing up with a truckload
of pennies at the US Federal Reserve? They must accept the pennies
as legal tender as any other financial institution. They may ask
the pennies to be rolled into $.50 packages, but they must respect
pennies as legal tender.
We all know that it cost the US Government more than
$.01 to produce a single penny and that the US Treasury is advocating
the elimination of the single cent monetary denomination. Bringing
the value of one cent to the fore of conversation is an important
endeavor and not to be approached lightly.
I am proud to be a small part of this “silly idea”.
It is fun, and for those who think that the measly $10.000 trying
to be raised is going to impact donations to “Viable Non-Profit
Organizations” Well all I can say is our non-profit accepts
donations whatever the denomination, and I’m sure the Red
Cross will accept even the smallest donation of a few pennies,
(Canadian or otherwise) and would be appreciative.
Onward to One Million Pennies!

You guys are wonderful in the U.S.A., Let me just say....
Land of oportunity? Is this site not just that?
All you who say this should go to a good cause, lets see your
IRS form, how much have you donated this year, what about last
year? Based on the letters I have read, Your rage comes from your
inability to do anything usefull.
People waste so much money that this hardly seems like a negative...
actually, it is crazy enough that you might even have some fun!
PS. I have 30 top quality websites. I spend thousands for design,
and to maintain them. this site has taken some time to design.
Good luck!

From: diggitydandog
I just absorbed a recent fact, that less than 8% of all
charitys go toward the poor and needy. It's the third year of
declining numbersfor these charitys. Another disturbing one is
that Yale and Harvard have a savings account with over 35 Billion.
How wealthy are you trying to be? Why not enjoy what
you have, and try to help out other human beings.
Death to the greedy ;-)

From: Frank
I want to start this off by telling you that you have
taken a very simple idea and done very well. As you say generally
people really do not consider pennies as worth very more. When
I was working as a manager for a large company our department
decided to have penny wars. The team with the largest amount by
weeks end would win the grand prize. It was a simple idea that
turned into a nightmare. Why because the bank would not take the
bags of pennies we had. They stated that it would be too time
consuming for them to deal with it and wouldn't you know they
directed us to the coin machines at the local supermarket. We
did and 50% of the pennies were rejected. Lucky for us we had
other change in the bags and were able pass out the prizes.
Now on to my gripe...
One thing that really gets under my skin is folks who bad mouth
a person for having what I would call an inventive and interesting
idea. You are not hurting people, you are not begging people,
you are merely asking for them to send in any unwanted pennies.
It is completely voluntary. You must be intelligent contrary to
some of the emails otherwise you would not be able to set up as
nice of a webpage as you have. Sure there are needy people out
there and we all need to do what we can when we can as human beings.
So to all those "ignorant" folks out there who have
bad mouthed this gentleman with a fun and interesting idea...get
off of your self righteous attitudes and give this guy a pat on
the back instead of your verbal crap. And all those who are too
afraid to reveal themselves when they write in...well there is
nothing more to say about cowards.
Thumbs up to you and good luck in your endeavors.
Frank

From: CHAR
You have a great idea and go with it every one who has
negative comments about your website is jealous and upset that
they did not think of it first let everyone know how much was
donated to the people who were effected by the hurricanes. Those
with negative comments probably did nothing to help their fellow
Americans financially or mentally or in prayer.
Good Luck and don't let angry people effect you in any way!!!
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!

From: Michelle
Wow! What a good idea. Dont worry I wont
steel your idea. I think you are nuts but smart at the same time.
How long before you make 10K do you think? Do you think you will
ever make it??? Has anyone stole your idea??? Im sure they have.
Good luck!!!! If you are nice to write back I will throw you some
pennies and pass your website on.
From: Peter
i know you are not seriously going to take
the pennies in garbage cans to the bank, but a million pennies
would weigh over 3 tons.
From: Anonymous
You're a $%#&!. Why the hell should
I send you money? Anyone who does is a stupid %*&#.
From: Devon
I collect pennies too, but it is for the
PBF. which is pretty much a glass jar in which me and my sister
charge our friends pennies to come over. The PBF stands for Poor
Basement Fund and we are just trying to raise money to buy posters
or cool lights. Anyways collecting pennies is fun.
Cool site.
From: Ilana
this is stupid...people need that change...you
can put it in a coin sorter and you can save them up...plus when
the government spends $9 million making pennies they make about
180 billion pennies
what will you spend it on? hookers, booze, and pot? no thank you
From: Jason
Atleast you have something, what about those
thousands of kids that die everyday due to lack of food or medicine,
THEY CAN ALSO USE JUST A PENNY!!!This site should be shut down
if it were up to me, you make me sick!!!

It figures you're a Cally guy/person. Probably just spending
it on some great crippy. Can I send a check for a penny instead?
From: Larry
I work hard too. The difference between you and me is
PRIDE. You have none. PRIDE would never allow for me to ever hold
my pathetic hand out like this. I hope you get the money because
you are too unmotivated to earn it yourself.
Keep on sponging and eating cheese!

How about I send you a sack of my $#!&t?

I'll give you 100,000 pennies if you let me fly to your
house and (explitive removed) for an hour. Deal?
From: Some nutcase
You are the worst person in the world. I cant beleive
that you made this website and are asking for peoples money!!
The government should mealt the copper and use it as aid for the
Katrina victums. I have studied a little science and they could
use the weight of the pennies to help fill the oil gaps in the
ocean. The point that I have made is that pennies are not worthless
and they should not go to a bumb so that you can go drinking.
You should feel ashamed!!!

u really suck. come on. the only way to earn money is
thru your hard earned self. no other way u noob. just work even
harder if u want money. life sucks. so live with it.
From: Josh
You know you aren't too old to join the military. I live
on a base in Japan. We dont use pennies here at all we round to
the nearest nickel. It would be too expensive for the military
to ship pennies here. Come join the Air Force. I have no college
and I probably make 3 times what you make by working on jets.
Get a life and step up to the plate. So many people are poor throughout
the world, who gives a $#!% about your wedding plans or your rent.
Get a better job. A1C xxxx
