A Massachusetts man delivered 62,000 pennies as his final mortgage payment.

Thomas Daigle told The Milford Daily News he wanted to ensure his last payment was “memorable.”

“It was something I wanted to do,” he said. “I always follow through.”

“I was just praying I didn’t die first.”

Thomas moved into his Milford, Massachusetts home in 1977 after receiving a mortgage from Milford Federal Savings and Loan Association.

Shortly after, he began collecting pennies in an old milk crate and eventually had to move his collection into two military grade metal boxes.

When he delivered the two boxes of pennies to Milford Federal on April 24th they weighed nearly 800 pounds.

Luckily he gave the bank a month to prepare for his “memorable” delivery and they were 100% supportive of his idea.

The life-long optician says his wife Sandra laughed whenever he picked up a penny and said it was going to the mortgage.

On average, Thomas collected 2.5 pennies every day.

That’s pretty impressive!
