Charles Timm from Minneapolis, MN United States sent this photo on 13 June 2010.
Description: Started stacking pennies at work, then saw the site about a year ago. Finally getting around to uploading a few of the sculptures I've made. First one is a neat looking wall. The second is something I call "stairs". The third is a spiral. Hard to make, this was the third or forth one I made that stayed up long enough for me to get a picture.

Hi my name is Jeremy Harvey and I live in Everett Washington. I came across your website showing coin stacking and a few pics of poker chip stacking and wanted to contribute if you'd let me. I have tried looking online in the past and couldn't find anything similar to what I like doing while playing poker until I saw your site. I've included a few of my pics of my structures for you to see and if you want to add them to your website I would love to share them and more. Please let me know if you want more pics of different designs and structures. Thank you for any consideration.

Salim D from Vienna, Austria sent this photo on 17 June 2009.
Description: I'd call my work ''the reminder of remnant pillars of the ancient empires'' or just "Stacking pennies instead of studying for exams!" as a fellow pennystacker wrote :)
pm: it is really astonishing to find out that there are so many people who stack coins :D.. as for a few minutes ago I was the only one I know who did this. I was running out of ideas and had to look up on the internet whether there are some guys who have this very interest as mine.. and here I am!!
I stacked coins many years ago and didn't start again until recently. It is exam time and this is just the right occupation to stall time :)
Stacking coins is a worthy hobby it challenges you creativity and your dexterity.

Benjamin Carlyle from Brisbane, Queensland Australia sent this photo on 26 April 2009.
Description: A one-span and a two-span bridge in Disney Princess Flip 'n' Match Memory Game tiles, with Miss 3 as model. The one-span bridge consists of two five-high pillars topped with three tranches of coins. The space in-between is filled with four tranches. The two-span bridge consists of two three-high pillars topped with three tranches of coins. The space in-between has three tranches. The first bridge had structural integrity sufficient to press down firmly. The second was unable to support the weight of an Australian 10c piece.

Eric Samuel from Allenstown, New Hampshire USA age 16 sent this photo on 19 December 2008.

Philip from Alberta Canada sent this photo on 12 December 2008.
Description: Penny spiral created by rotating each triad slightly. The bridge base helps keep it a bit more stable since the big problem is keeping the tower straight.

More photos from Tim Legg, Elk Grove Village, IL: "This is a picture of a 9 penny bridge I built. This is part of a larger structure I am building, but it is unfinished. I am currently focusing on restoring an antique car until the winter months set in."
Description: "My name is Eli Ward, I'm 19 years of age, I'm from the U.S. Missouri. I've been stacking for about three weeks now since I've discovered this site. I was inspired to stack when I stumbled on this page."
More photos from Tim Legg, Elk Grove Village, IL:
"The bottom circle is a circumference of 36 coins. Each echelon of layers is two pennies smaller than the previous. It is over 520 pennies tall and contains over 10,000 pennies. The bottom span reaches 5 pennies.
"After this, a 60 penny base will be build to achieve six 9-penny spans. It will be estimated to contain almost 40,000 pennies and stand about twice as tall. The current challenge is finding a solid foundation. Currently it is set on a wood floor that moves slightly that causes the top to wave."
This just goes to show that towers don't need to be round. No other pictures of this one exist. It was destroyed when it's 3 foot tall neighbor was demolished.

Description: Rob B. did the bridge and Mike B. did the spiral

Mark from Birmingham UK sent this nice picture of this hollow dome with this description: When I saw the dome I had to see if it could be done upside down. It needed a bit of scaffolding (piles of pennies) until it could support it's own weight and it has a stack of pennies inside. Turns out it didn't need the stack on top. I bet someone could make a nice sphere if they had the time.
Anthony from Wales sent these photos: "I got bored one night so i just made some random structures just to see how strong they would become."
Mitchell Tribbett from Denver Colorado USA sent this amazing picture of a tower with a cd balanced on top!

Keith sent me these photos of Alex Chervinsky from Lock Haven, PA who in 1971 held the world record for coins stacked on another coin standing upright on a coin laying flat.
"A model of Petronas twin towers using mostly all dimes and a few nickles and quarters. It taken probably 4 hrs if I did it non-stop. There is a piece of card supporting the bridge in the center (that's because the bridge would have sag too much to look neat) There's not other supports holding the towers standing." -Thaibu Gholar
Submit your amazing coin stacking pictures.
Note: All stacks of coins were done without any glue. Only the weight of the coins provides the support. Enjoy the pictures. Coin Stacking is a fun hobby for kids, college students and adults.
