A Big Penny

[Wickednick]

In all my years of searching, i've heard of a hypothetical question: would you rather have a penny that doubles in value every day for a month or 1 mil dollars?
That question is great n all, but what if I stole an idea from a twitch chat and asked you: what if that penny doubled in size every day, and had no limitations?
How much would it be worth?
How long could you survive the penny?
Would there be any way to stop it?

answer below within 5 minutes of seeing this or be stuck in money limbo forever

If a piece of the penny gets chipped off what happens?

I'm pretty sure it just continues growing at the same rate but as a seperate entity

Easy, cut the penny into 2 pieces and leave one in the north pole and one in the south to create the penny sandwich

That doesnt stop it though, eventually you're just gonna have a really big penny

What if the penny grew to a large enough proportion where we could make a hole inside and seal in money or valuable metals / materials

But the penny would still grow

I think the real question here is, would you eat an entire Pringles can for $100?

Anyway, just put the penny in the bank then cancel your account, duh

i have no idea how big the penny would get but i would try to sell it to a scientist (while it's growing) after showing him proof that it grows by taking a time-lapse video or something. if that fails, i'll just throw it in a field

probably post it online too

On god what if we just throw it on a planet with a long day cycle

I don't want it to stop, for if it stopped then the earth could not get turned into oreo filling for my craving
