Doug Erickson and his wife Sue of Mankato Township are down to one jar of pennies â a narrow-topped bottle that they decided would take too much work to dig the coins out.
Doug and Sue Erickson needed the help of a younger friend and his commercial vehicle to deliver the pennies theyâd been collecting for nearly 42 years to a local hunger-relief effort. They dropped off their contribution Dec. 11 at the Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union branch in Mankato. Affinity employees Morgan Wuebker, right, and Kole Herrick, assisted in moving the 42,878 pennies into the credit union.Lee Bohrer
