The pint of sweat might be accurate, but the rest of it is, shockingly, TOTAL CRAP. A good sock wicks moisture, rather than just absorbing it. So I'm going with semantics and saying it's crap, because it is.

Not all socks are made of the same material as well. Absorption is probably quite variable.

I figure what this guys going off is the amount a foot sweats in a day sooo fact?

U.S. Coins of all denominations survive an average of 25 years before they are removed from circulation and replaced.

Probably crap? I think more get lost than anything, especially pennies, I recall paper money having a useful life of 3-5 years and coins obviously last longer but get lost...
