Next we stopped at Rockefeller Center to see the pennies, all 100,000,000 of them

and the men raking them

which led to this movie

and an appreciation of their vastness

of the woman sorting (not by year but by shinyness)

and more raking
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2007/12.05-08.07HannukahAndNYC//P1160738

as I took these long views

and then recognized the cause they were there for.  While I am impressed by the pennies and appreciate the good works of the people doing this, I do have trouble understanding why they not be sorting by year and why they would let their penny field be poisoned by nickels, dimes and quarters.
