Useless facts

So, while trying to answer a grandson's question about the weight of a million dollars of pennies, I discovered two interesting, albeit useless, facts...

1) $1,000,000 weighs the same, whether in dimes, quarters, or half dollars
2) $1,000,000 in those denominations weighs almost exactly 25 tons - 50,000.84 lbs. Actually, I think it's a rounding error.

I found those to be intersting coincidences.
