   you turn 18 or a penny for for the number of days old you are every month until you are 18.     

 

   To get $60.00 at 1¢ per day, you need to be 6,000 days old.     

   6,000 days / 365 days/yr  =  16.438 yr     

   So, when you're less than ~ 161/2 years old, the $60.00 is the better deal.     

   But, when you're ~ 161/2 years old or older, the pennies is the better deal.     

   Of course, you'd have to shlep 6,000 pennies down to the bank every time.
