Massachusetts man Thomas Daigle said he collected pennies for 35 years so he could make his final mortgage payment using 62,000 of the coins, The Milford Daily News reported last Friday.
《米尔福德每日资讯》上周五报道，马塞诸塞州男子托马斯•戴格尔表示，35年来他一直在收集硬币，为的是用62000个硬币将最后一笔贷款还清。
Daigle said he collected an average of 2.5 pennies per day. At first he kept them in a grape crate, but he had to move the loose change into a pair of steel military rocket launcher ammo boxes when the wood of the crate began to break under the weight of the coins.
他平均每天会攒下2.5美分。一开始，他将硬币存放在装葡萄的木箱子里，但在硬币的重压下，箱子板开始断裂。于是，他把那些零钱又转移到了两个钢铁材质的军用火箭发射装置箱里。
Daigle delivered the pennies on April 24, the same day as his 35th wedding anniversary.
4月24日，戴格尔把那些硬币缴了出去，而那天正好是他的第35个结婚纪念日。
