Thought of summarize your faulty logic there for posterity.

Jesus.

Why do you make it so easy to make fun of you?

How many semi-trailers would be needed to haul $500 million of pennies? I know the smart people here can work out the math. I need to know by Monday. Thanks in advance.

Pennies made after 1983 weigh 2.5 grams each.
50,000,000,000 pennys would weigh
125,000,000 kgs.
Or
125,000 tons.
Each truck is typically limited to 40 tons.
So that means you need 3125 18 wheelers not counting packaging.

Assuming my Saturday afternoon Yuengling Porter infused math is correct.

It seems like the sort of thing Trump might do. I wanted him to have a solid answer before he goes to the bank Monday to make the withdrawal.

I asked the best known free AIs and got wildly different answers..
"How many semi-trailers would be required to transport $500 million of pennies?"
ChatGPT - 3
Claude3 - 62
Gemini - 6,889
Pi.ai - 15,625

Rocktar is close to Gemini in reasoning method. The difference is the number of tons they think a semi-trailer can hold. Gemini said a semi-trailer can hold 40,000 pounds, which is half as much as Rocktar said. We need to pin this down. Obviously, we don't want Trump to order an extra 3,000 trailers.

Rocktar is correct, without an oversize load permit, 80000lbs is the max allowed.

Does that include the weight of the truck and trailer?

Either way, there aren't enough pennies available. We'll need to switch to $1 bills, requiring a much smaller money convoy.

No dumbfuck, that is the cargo capacity.

There are 1.5 billion dollars worth of pennies in circulation right now.

1.5 billion is more than 500 million.

I've got like, .0000000033% of those $1.5B in pennies in my possession. Suck on that. I'm so rich!
