After 65 years of saving, an 81-year-old Slaton man has deposited $816 worth of pennies at Prosperity Bank.

Ira Keys hasn't spent a penny since he was 17 years old, because of advice his father gave him.

"He says, 'Whatever you do son, save your money,'" Keys said. "Back when I started in '52, I didn't have a lot of money, so I saved pennies and I just kept saving them."

The collection weighed in at about 500 pounds.[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]

2. Ages ago my dad worked at Laredo National Bank

This was ~50 years ago before he left Laredo. Occasionally he would 'prank' some of his coworkers by slipping a photocopied $20/10/5 into their tills before the end of the day. He liked to see how quick they would catch it during their end of day count.

I can see it being funny a couple of times, but I'm sure that some of them probably thought he was being an a$$hole. He has a sick sense of humor, which, I'm sure, is how I got my own.



Off topic, can you tell me how you changed the font of your post? Is there a list of avail fonts or something?

3. I make use of DU's CSS (cascading style sheets) to make it appear this way

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The fonts available depend entirely upon the available fonts on the computer viewing my posts.

Here is a post I made about how I do my font:[/font]

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]I have bolded and increased the size of my font since then, so if you have any issues reading the post let me know.

Feel free to reply to me if you want to test it out. [/font]

4. Cool, thanks for the font info

Now I just have to find a way to sneak some runic fonts onto everyone's computers.

I'm going to have to play with this stuff later. Unfortunately I have too big of a migraine to play on the computer right now.

I owe you a horn of mead for the tips...

5. He might have done better taking the older ones to a coin dealer

Starting 1952 he got to have some old ones that might have collectors value.
