"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

Just think about how hard it would be to stack those pennies in the first place ;)

Once they are there, though, a nuclear bomb could probably go off beside them and most would still be sitting there.

Actually I have never really tried stacking pennies (or any other coins) like that; do they fit snugly on top of each other? If they are really precariously balanced, even a gust of wind might do it. :D (since the pennies appear to arranged in distinct columns and not in just a random mix) I think the pennies might do quite a bit of damage when they hit the ground from such heights. :D
