They've made three thus far, one for their home, one for a Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum for $500, and they are donating the latest one to the kid's high school.  The father had a habit of keeping all his pennies, and this is what they decided to do with them.  The portraits take about 2400 pennies to do, and they say they have enough for at least ten more portraits.  Well, I guess if they sold them all to different Ripley's museums they could make a pretty penny...
