This is one hell of a lucky penny!

Some 100 special pennies have been hidden across major cities in the United States — and those who find them will receive a $1,000 cash prize.

Ten of the coins were placed in each of the following cities: Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Austin, Chicago, Charlotte, Detroit, Miami, New York and Washington, DC.

The special pennies (pictured) are slightly larger than common ones, with an Ally logo on one side and '100,000 cents' on the other

The campaign launched Tuesday in an effort by financial services company Ally Financial to 'demonstrate the importance of valuing every cent, while encouraging Americans to look for opportunities to save.'

'We believe every penny counts when it comes to saving, and it's important for everyone to understand that routinely saving, even the smallest amounts, is important to generating wealth over time,' said CEO Diane Morais, of Ally Financial, in a statement.

Clues for the locations of the lucky pennies can be found on the company's social media page.

In New York, one clue says: 'How to honor the Constitution's author? With his own NYC park & and #AllyLuckyPenny in it.'

Another says: 'Every penny honors our 16th President. This Manhattan green honors our 4th.'

The special pennies are slightly larger than common ones, with an Ally logo on one side and '100,000 cents' on the other.

'We hope that people will have fun searching for Ally Lucky Pennies in their cities and that the campaign will inspire people to look at money in a different way,' said Andrea Riley, Ally's chief marketing officer, in a statement.

Prima monedă de acest fel a fost descoperită în Detroit, povestea mai jos.

DETROIT (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - "I was walking down the sidewalk and I seen something shining, I said 'let me go ahead and pick this up,’” said Terry Williams.


Little did Terry Williams know that little penny was so lucky!

This week Detroit-based Ally Bank launched a promotion and placed 100 pennies across the country that are worth a thousand dollars each.

Terry said he had it in his pocket for a few days before he realized what he had. ‘

Instead of President Lincoln's head, the copper colored coin has Ally's logo on one side. The other side is printed 100,000, meaning it's worth 100,000 pennies.
