What is the significance of the title? I am confused! lol

Ugh, I am just out of it! I am hosting a similar swap in another group and copied/pasted and then missed changing it to two cards. I'm just a dummy sometimes :( Thanks Terry!

No problem choke! (Besides, I get easily confused.)

Since you said if we have any questions...I have a question:

Exactly how many U.S. Quarters stacked on top of each other would it take to reach the top of the Empire State Building. This has been bugging me for years and I am so glad you have offered the chance for me to ask you. I will check back daily for the answer.

choke 07/29/2013 #

Well let's see, a US quarter is 1.75 mm thick and the Empire State Building is 443m tall (to the spire), so that would be (roughly) 253,143 or $63,285.75. If you only want to go as high as the roof (381m) then that'll be a little cheaper for you, roughly 217,714 or $54,428.50.

Hmmm....seems I am short a few quarters. :P

wasn't really expecting an answer but... COOL

I will accept donations in any amount! All proceeds will go towards stacking said quarters in order to take a picture, so I can make Paige a postcard!
