In the Italian town of Urbana, a postman named Bruno Salvetti has become a local celebrity for his unusual hobby of collecting one-cent coins. Over several decades, he has amassed a collection of 1.176 million coins, weighing over 2.7 tons and valued at €11,760. The collection, stored in 28 glass containers, has caused cracks in the concrete of his house due to its weight. Salvetti started collecting change as a child and decided to focus on one-cent coins after Italy switched to the euro.
