If this doesn't make you start loving pennies again, nothing will.

I'm willing to bet that 98% of us will ignore a random penny on the ground. But that's going to change really quick!

Because banks have been busy dropping pennies each worth $1,000 in cities across America.

As part of their Lucky Penny promotion, which was put together to show just how much change we waste and throw away every year, Ally Bank has dropped 100 fake pennies in cities across the country. If found, each of those pennies are worth one thousand dollars each.

These fake pennies looks exactly like normal pennies, but they feature the bank’s logo on one side, and their value at 100,000 cents on the other.

The best part? They're also providing hints for where you can find the pennies all over the U.S.

Think you're up to the challenge? Good luck!
