00:00One cent actually contains about four cents worth of metal.
00:05That means, if you melt a single one-cent coin, the metal inside is worth around four cents.
00:10With just one dollar, you can buy a hundred one-cent coins.
00:13If you melt and recast those 100 coins, the total metal value would be about 400 cents, which is four dollars.
00:20So you've turned one dollar into four dollars.
00:22If you take that four dollars and repeat the process, you'd end up with sixteen dollars.
00:26Repeat it again with sixteen dollars, and you'd get sixty-four.
00:29Each time you do it, your money multiplies by four.
00:32And if you repeat this process just ten times, you'd have over one million dollars and a lifetime in federal prison.
