Math Fun Day 1 Problem #1: A Penny a day...

Problem #1:  You get one penny per day for life.  After how many years will your money have the most value, considering inflation is roughly 2.5%?

Bonus: If you saved the pennies up for 100 years what would the value of your money be?
Pretty sad right?  Enjoy your lunch.  Pennies are pretty much the worst.
