He walked in the bank with a dolly rolling along with him. The sound from the coins made everyone look at him instantly.
Otha Anders, the coin master, was part of the Jackson school Board as a supervisor. Children who were suspended were sent to him, and they were quite fond of him.
Anders had a wife and kids, and they support him every step of the way, but his hobby was a bit questionable…
An activity that started as a fun task, grew into a hobby, a type of obsession.Anders believes that every penny he finds is a sign of God telling him to be grateful. On the days he didn’t pray he would almost always find a penny. According to him, that was the way God was telling him to be grateful.
While most people make a wish on a penny, Anders, as a man of faith, said prayers on it.
“I became convinced that spotting a lost or dropped penny was an additional God-given incentive reminding me to always be thankful,” Anders told USA Today. “There have been days where I failed to pray and more often than not, a lost or dropped penny would show up to remind me.”
