大千世界:男子35年攢硬幣繳房貸

Massachusetts man Thomas Daigle said he collected pennies for 35 years so he could make his final mortgage payment using 62,000 of the coins, The Milford Daily News reported last Friday.

《米爾福德每日新聞》上週五報道，馬塞諸塞州男子托馬斯•戴格爾表示，35年來他一直在收集硬幣，爲的是用62000個硬幣將最後一筆貸款還清。

Daigle said he collected an average of 2.5 pennies per day. At first he kept them in a grape crate, but he had to move the loose change into a pair of steel military rocket launcher ammo boxes when the wood of the crate began to break under the weight of the coins.

他平均每天會攢下2.5美分。一開始，他將硬幣存放在裝葡萄的木箱子裏，但在硬幣的重壓下，箱子板開始斷裂。於是，他把那些零錢又轉移到了兩個鋼鐵材質的軍用火箭發射裝置箱裏。

Daigle delivered the pennies on April 24, the same day as his 35th wedding anniversary.

4月24日，戴格爾把那些硬幣繳了出去，而那天正好是他的第35個結婚紀念日。
