Legend has it that there is a man alive today in the United States who has for many years now been going around buying up pennies from strangers he meets along his travels, giving them a 100,000%  return on their pennies.

He pays one dollar for each penny and tells the story of “The Penny King”, a man who appears to be broke, houseless, and without any visible means of life support.

And yes, that is not a typo, a one hundred thousand percent return on your pennies!

He tells the tale of an imaginary penny that is floating around in society somewhere that is worth more than a million dollars, and if you are a penny buff, you know that the S-VDB minted in San Francisco in 1909, three years before the Federal Reserve Act was passed, is worth around a thousand dollars today if it is in mint or better condition.

By 2009 it might double in value if “The Penny King” has his way.

In his travels of over a million miles around North America over the past thirty odd years, he once amassed a trunk full of pennies that his second son, Christian, cashed in for $4,000 when he left his family in Reno four years ago to go to war against his enemies who stole his publicly traded company which to him was worth $70 million at the time.

Since then, he has forgiven his enemies and is now amassing new wealth – by sharing his understanding.

He has been clean and sober for more than three years after attending more than 500 AA, NA, CA and SOS meetings during his recovery processes.

His understanding is that if you start with a penny and you utilize your talent and knowledge to double it every day, after 28 days you will have over a million dollars, and if you keep doubling, you will exceed a billion dollars after the 38th day.

Most people are not capable of making a million dollars in one month let alone in their entire lifetimes. They lack the education, resources and talent to make it happen. There are jealous rich people who will try to make sure it doesn’t.

The same mathematical formula holds true if you wish to use the internet to communicate to a billion people and cause a global penny shortage, a collapse of the bond market, a collapse of the United States dollar, and a global depression, but that is getting ahead of the story, which is being made into a feature length motion picture titled, “The Penny King”.

If you send a message electronically to two people asking them to also send it to two others and keep doubling the number of times that message is sent out, it doesn’t take long for a billion people to get the email, especially if it means good news for poor people and those struggling with debts and the stress of raising a family in a global economy that is managed about as poorly as the United States government.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that a billion people will actually read your message, but it does illustrate the potential power of human communication ability and talent in this day and age.

It also doesn’t mean that the recipients of your message will understand it. Over three fourths of the world, more than 4.5 billion people, are illiterate and less than 1% of the world’s population is Super Literate, meaning they read or hear and understand perfectly everything that is said or written.

There are many articles on the subject of this mythological penny that could fetch over a million dollars.
