That's bigger than numbers go, idiot.

The interesting question is how much all these pennies weigh.
Current pennies weight 2.5 grams (thanks Google!). So the pennies have a mass of 2.5 x (2^364) grams.
My calculator sez this is 9.39 E 109.
The mass of the entire universe is thought to be around 10^55 grams, so it's clear the US Mint is more powerful than God. Enormously more powerful. This would be the black hole to end them all.

Don't bother. You can't do it. The number of pennies you'd end up with is larger than the number of elementary particles in the known universe.

So I am right? Right?

Wouldn't it be 1+(2^1)+(2^2)+(2^3)...(2^364)?
No, that’s not the OP’s problem. However, what’s the sum? (There’s an easy way to think about it.)

Let me guess, you chose to take the million dollars instead of the penny compounded daily?

I recall a homework assignment in college where we had to write a program in BASIC that solved that problem for a 30 day period.
You'd write the program, run it to see if it worked, then wait about 45 minutes for your tractor feed paper to print out a copy in the computer lab.
