Man pays off mortgage with 62 000 pennies

Thomas Daigle, of Milford, paid off the last installment of his mortgage with one cent coins, fulfiling a promise he made when he bought the house he and his wife Sandra bought in 1977.
He phoned ahead to warn staff at Milford Federal Savings and Loan Association, telling them he would be dropping off about 62 000 pennies weighing 800 pounds (364kg) for his final payment.
The bank was “100 per cent for it,” he said, adding that he just wanted to make his last payment on April 24 “memorable”. “It was something I wanted to do,” he said. — PTI.
