Bruno Salvi, an Italian postman, has collected over 1.17 million one-cent coins, aiming for 1.5 million. His collection weighs 2.7 tons and is stored in 28 large jars. Salvi's passion began in childhood with Italian lira and continued with euro coins. Local residents contributed by giving him spare change. He has faced practical challenges due to the weight of his collection, which has required him to relocate it multiple times. Salvi reflects on the many hands that have touched these coins before they reached him, emphasizing the human connection behind his hobby.
