Kidnap a stranger Drop money on them Bribe the courts


RefanRes

>Kidnap a stranger 3 types of people. - The people who dont care as long as they don't know the person. - The people who make sure to pick the most evil scumbag possible. - The people who find someone terminally ill and very near the end of life wanting to be out of their pain. Maybe the 4th kind being a person who is stuck in 2 minds between the last 2 of those options. Personally I'd find the scumbag to protect anybody else who might have ended up being a victim of them.


OldNarnian

I pick someone who is already on death row and has their execution scheduled, but I also wouldn't do this cause it's way too much of a hassle lol


craxzyfoot90769

Never said all at once so someone is having a penny drop on them for the rest of their life


sithelephant

A rate of 50/sec.


craxzyfoot90769

Also is it one time use or not because if so I am the most annoying villain ever if multi use


thunderthighlasagna

From the height of the Empire State Building.

You would run out of pennies after around 45 weeks or 10.3 months


Joshtheepictreeeater

one a second

Samvel_2015

If you drop them all at once they would also have pennies drop on them for the rest of their life.


No-Entertainment3597

Do we get to choose what altitude we can summon the pennies? Also do we have to know the name of the person or just their face?


HeadpattingFurina

If you know someone exists, they're fair game.


Joshtheepictreeeater

drops pennies every half second


Fairybranch

Magical assassination..


GenuineSteak

The amount of copper in the pennies would probably be worth more than the pennies lol.


OarsandRowlocks

*Ea-nāṣir turns in his grave*


GenuineSteak

Based reference, i assure you my penny copper is of the finest quality.


sithelephant

97% zinc.


theemptyqueue

Pennies are mostly copper coated now.


GenuineSteak

They didnt say it had to be modern pennies. I choose to summon exclusively pre 80s pennies. That were mostly copper.


Waveofspring

If you melted down a billion dollars worth of pennies the US government would display your head on a spear


GenuineSteak

I want my head to be on the penny, as penny overlord.


Fit_Employment_2944

You would definitely set a record for the most felonies committed by a single person, and probably by six orders of magnitude.


Waveofspring

I don’t think each penny is it’s own charge I’m pretty sure the whole thing is one count.


[deleted]

drop pennies on their heads


HeadpattingFurina

No, actually. You get 485 million dollars worth of zinc and 75 million dollars worth of copper.


No_Method_5345

Mf did the math


CoolGuyBabz

It's still a lot safer than actually turning in 1b$ worth of pennies


GenuineSteak

You didnt say it had to be modern pennies. Old pennies were mostly copper.


sithelephant

97% of the 'copper' is zinc.


Fit_Employment_2944

The value of the metal would significantly decrease before you are able to sell it, but a billion dollars is only a tiny fraction of the USD in circulation so it would be worth the full billion.


Insanity72

It's the equivalent weight of dropping the world's largest cruise ship on someone


Shoddy_Wrangler693

Step one find or get a piece of property out of the way. Step 2 agree to meet an asshole that you can't stand there. Step three show up after they are already red mush and start shoveling pennies into a cement mixer that's washing them then pouring them out into the back of a dump truck Step four go into places with bags of pennies use their coinstars get shit tons of gift cards Step five sell said gift cards at a loss. You're still going to be rich beyond your wildest dreams as long as you sell them to random people you're not going to be advertising this to the government Hell if you don't want to do the gift cards just hire somebody to roll them up for every 10 rolls that they roll up then they'll be able to keep the next one. You'd still end up with 909+ million dollars untraceable. Hell even if they tried to steal a packet for herself and you let them get away with it you don't just hire one person you hire a bunch of people yeah they're going to get bored with it but you're still going to end up with a shit ton of rolled coins that you can take places and trade in even if you also hired people to trade in the coins at the same rate you'd still have 800 plus million dollars you could even go for higher rates without a problem you start running low on coins pick one of the volunteers sudden avalanche coins I'm so sorry here here's a million dollars to their family


lool8421

what if i smelt these into metal?


daddysweet

I like your idea we can kill people then incase them in a ball of zinc and copper. We can get rich at any time or just hire out as an assassin


HeadpattingFurina

You're gonna have to find a smelter willing to process literally a quarter million tonnes of metal yourself. Also the total amount of metal recovered would be worth less than a billion. Copper is valuable. Zinc is not.


Shoddy_Wrangler693

Honestly that depends on the age of the penny I mean even current circulation if you got $100 in pennies for the bank a good number of them would be before they turned mostly to zinc to be honest LOL. However you if you're going to try to recover these you're insane because trying to get all the blood off all them you're going to have to literally launder a lot of money lol although this would be one hella way to get rid of that one annoying person and somebody's family or few annoying people and make the family rich. I mean hell honestly if you told somebody looking at a mountain of pennies I'll tell you what if you roll them you can have 10%. I doubt there'd be many people that would refuse rolling as many as they could they would probably try to buy a machine when they got to enough to just roll them automatically but 100 millions a hundred million


unique976

Holy comma Batman.


Shoddy_Wrangler693

By using that reference you're really inferring your age LOL However yes this is definitely a plan capable of being one of a Batman villain LOL


RandyMJones

Congress then the Supreme Court


nopenottodayyoucrazy

The $5,000. Assassin. For $5,000 cash I'll drop a billion on your enemy, allow his family to keep the money from the drop.


Zomer15689

Hello sir, I would like to cash in some money *begins to drown in pennies*


Neither_External_930

“EVERYTHING FOR THE AMBER LORD!!!”


Madus4

The prompt never said that the person had to be alive, so you can just go to a graveyard or mausoleum and safely do it.


skalizair

that would be devastating in many ways and I would never use it


volt65bolt

Wimp. Destroy your enemy and their immediate surroundings. Pay for the damages with the billion dollars. Take profits. Win win.


Justsomeguyaa

Death Note but cooler and even more powerful. (OP said you just have to know a person’s existence to drop the pennies on them, not even having to know their face or name.)


Dragon3076

The police will never catch me.


Kevin33024

Well, looks like I'm going to need some coin wrappers...


HeadpattingFurina

You want helping hands. Hundreds of thousands of helping hands. It would take a bit over 380 years of non-stop coin wrapping, at the breakneck pace of 6 seconds per roll, to get through all of one pile of pennies. My advice is to just come over with a truck, a wheelbarrow and a shovel. There will be plenty of pennies for everyone.


Farscape55

Can I do it more than once?


HeadpattingFurina

Of course.


A_Miphlink_shipper

imma drop it on putin and kim and see what happens


soul-king420

Sounds fun.


Bewpadewp

even my imaginy friend?

Groundbreaking_Tea12

Deus0123

The copper is probably worth significantly more than a billion. Even if we account for not all pennies being actually made of copper. That said: you can break the laws of physics with this by using the pennies to run a turbine


NoSoFriendly_Guest

According to maths, that is 5.5 million pounds worth of pennies. Edit: I am an idiot. That is just 1 billion pennies, not 1 billion dollars of pennies. Just multiply that pounds by 100.


Zealousideal_Topic58

How much volume would that take?


ExoFemboy

Imagine if on the news you hear that all politicians globally were crushed by pennis, that would be a very strange day


TGHbandandbookfan

Question: Is it a one time thing or can I do it over and over again? And does the "person" have to be human?


HeadpattingFurina

You can do it as many times as you want but the only targets allowed are humans.


TGHbandandbookfan

oh. Can I do it to already dead people?


HeadpattingFurina

Nope.


TGHbandandbookfan

But they are dead humans that I knew before they died.


HeadpattingFurina

Nope. Living breathing humans only.


TGHbandandbookfan

Oh. Never mind.


Idk_Just_Kat

Imma drop a million at 20 coins per second on some random conservative during their speech
