Give the guy a break, not everyone is good at mathematics.

Unfortunately modern education does not teach mathematics like before or like in Asia were they use an abacus therefore certain people are stigmatized for not knowing basic arithmatic when it’s actually the fault of the education system or it’s just their genetics and the way their brain processes information.

ummm… 100 x 1,000 doesn’t equal 1 million.

lol

100 times 1,000 = one hundred thousand (100,000) rofl. Are all of you THAT bad at math ?

Hong Kong also uses the octopus card system, so you can upload a lot of money in it and you can buy a lot of things with it. Every transportation (except for taxis) has an option to use it, and every drink machine uses it too. every 7-11 (and similar shops) store also support it. It’s really convenient. I hope every country has a card system like this.

I like the hong kong currency. It’s very balanced. A phone call is one dollar, candy ranges from 2 dollars and up, drinks are 5 dollars, basically the cheapest items are around that range, and it goes up from there. Cents go in tens, like 10 cents, 20 cents, and 50 cents but it’s not much of a problem.

How hard can it be to add three zeroes to a 100?
One grand is 100.000 pennies!

Pennies, meh. I’m not too worried about pennies. Quarters is where it’s at! But realistically, I do save pennies sometimes by tossing them into my money jar and then cashing them in when it gets full.

I remember years ago (2000) counting my change to see if I had enough money to replace the hard drive I just killed in my laptop (my only computer at the time). What else… I don’t use coinstar, especially when every bank here counts change for free. Oh and if you have time, try paying for coffee with all dimes and nickels… Good times.

It is indeed 100,000 pennies for $1,000. 100 pennies to the dollar; pretty simple.

Assuming that he would throw out 20 pennies a week (probably a high estimate, but still believable) that’s a whopping $10.40 a year. At that rate, it’d take him 96 YEARS to get to $1,000!

Depending on how long ago it was, if the pennies were several years old they have more of a copper content and are now worth 3-4 times their face value! Same with quarters made before 1964, that have a silver content.

That’s inflation, people…

100 pennies in a dollar, 1000 dollars in a grand…therefore, aren’t there 100,000 pennies in a thousand dollars? Am I crazy?

How dare you through away pennies! lol

You can make alot of money from saving up your change, pennies included.
