I met with Conna Craig at a coffee shop yesterday evening and we did the exchange of the original penny for $10 over a cup of coffee.
She is doing some wonderful work helping foster care kids and it was interesting learning about her story. If you have any interest in this area, it would be well worth your time following her on twitter.
Now that the $10 is in hand, I will be exchanging it for 1000 pennies which will be used for the current Penny Experiment art project and other projects that have not yet been determined.
