How many pennies would it take to reach the moon from ground level at earth?

"A penny is 1.52 mm thick, and the average distance to the moon is about 384,400 km. So, you'd need around 253 billion pennies to stack from Earth to the moon. That’s 253,000,000,000! 🚀 Guess that's a lot of cents to reach some celestial sense. " thankyou AI...

Yay!!! This is actually a surprising answer!

[JustinTheGreat]

At least 11

You ain't wrong technically lol

1,700,000 stacked pennies would reach a mile. It is 238,900 miles from Earth to the Moon. So that's 406 billion 130 million pennies. 406,130,000,000.

It depends...

If the pennies are stacked vertically, edge to edge, about 1.3 trillion.

If they are stacked flat, into a huge cylinder, about 250 trillion.

Side to side, maybe 20 to 25 billion off of my rough estimate of their length.

I had to do the math and I was in the range. One penny is.75 inches, so 16 to a foot. 16x5280(feet per mile) x238,900(miles to the moon) is 20,182,272,000 pennies.

More importantly, what can I buy with space tower pennies? 🤔

[BetaBucks]

Drugs and hookers for sure

[ChicoFromThe305]

I doubt even a hooker would accept all those pennies

[BetaBucks]

Disappointing...

[slatyb]

Stacked like this = or like this 8 ?

[FunkyMonkee]

Stacked flat or stood on edge?

[iCuddleU]

No. Lol.
