    Well, considering that Washington DC and the surrounding suburbs is in the top 3 most expensive places to live in the US, I'm sure it's not chump change. They pay people a lot of our money when it's not their money to spend.

    My wife wanted me to make sure I didn't leave her little pup out of the discussion. He did a local t.v. interview recently. He's quite a celebrity.

    Excluding pallets and bags, that load should have weighed 41,876 pounds. Each thousand dollars of pennies weighs 551 pounds. Not sure how much copper is actually in a penny now, but if it was pure copper, it's worth $3.06 per pound today, and that works out to $1,686.06 per $1,000 in pennies.So your load was really worth closer $128,140.56.
