Having more money than you know what to do with is usually a good thing, but for one California family, it’s a little bit more complicated than that.
John Reyes, a realtor from the Inland Empire, is trying to figure out what to do with more than 1 million pennies he and his wife discovered in her father’s former home in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The pennies were found in a crawlspace way back in the basement of the home last year while the family was cleaning out the home that once belonged to John’s father-in-law, Fritz.
The home was built in the early 1900s, and the family believes it was once used as a bed and breakfast.
Fritz and his brother, both German immigrants, lived in the home for decades until Fritz passed and his brother moved away.
