Southwestern Christian University (Oklahoma) student pays tuition with 500 pounds of pennies

It was a heavy load, but Andrew Magbee wanted to make a point.

To show how important it is to live debt-free, the senior at Southwestern Christian University in Oklahoma paid his final school bill in rolled up pennies.

He wheeled nearly 100,000 coins onto campus in neatly stacked boxes, all to prove that saving every cent can really pay off.

“I’m paying my last school payment with pennies. It kind of reminds me and will remind me in the future that every little penny counts,” he told KOTV in Tulsa.
