Wilberforce was on the right track but if you truly want to be lazy and precise, you stack up your 50 pennies and line them up against another stack of 50 so they’re level heightwise and continue making identical stacks until you have enough for $500. Personally, I’ve always preferred using the paper rolls but they’re neither needed nor wanted today.
Not on-topic for today’s edition, but whatever happened to the character “Wastrel P. Gravesite”? Do they now consider the character’s representation to be insensitive to the poor and/or homeless?

OR for $25 you could buy a coin counter on Amazon to count your $5 worth of pennies.
