"Hey, there are four extra pennies in there!" I explained that her original seven pennies had grown to eleven pennies because every couple days the bank paid her a penny for letting them use her money―that's interest. She paused and asked, "Dad, what would happen if you deposited like a hundred million pennies in the bank?
