After saving pennies for 65 years, an 81-year-old man finally cashes them in, but how much did he get?
Your parents have always told you to save your money. Well, Ira Keys took that bit of advice and ran with it. He started saving pennies when he was 17-years-old and didn't take out one untill recently.
