[QUOTE="Copper Head, post: 1481856, member: 26489"]Published July 06, 2012 Associated Press MILFORD – A Massachusetts man who pledged to make the last mortgage payment on his home with pennies has fulfilled that promise. After warning his bank, Thomas Daigle in April dropped off about 62,000 pennies weighing 800 pounds in two boxes for the final payment on the Milford home he and his wife, Sandra, bought in 1977. He tells The Milford Daily News he just wanted to make his last payment "memorable." He started saving his pennies when he moved in. The optician says his wife laughed whenever he would pick up a penny he found on the ground and say it was going to the mortgage. Daigle says he's just glad to have the coins out of his house.
