Even when the government began a program of paying $125 for every $100 of pennies turned in, he wasn\u2019t interested. He liked having the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting pennies as an excuse to say a prayer.<br>Anders said that he began seeing pennies as a reminder to stop and say a prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I would see a penny when I\u2019m gassing up, on the ground, or in a store, it would be a reminder to stop right there and say a prayer,\u201d Anders said to ABC News. \u201cI never failed to do that. That\u2019s why they had so much value to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At no point during all of his penny-collecting did Anders accept coins as a gift from anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KbQ5XMsKplI?si=qxUzASE2Zeg4kAZi\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you one of those people who rushes to grab any piece of change you see lying around?
