ITT: brainlets
if the penny doubles everyday then by the end of the first day i'll have 2 doubling pennies, one with 29 more days of doubling and one with 30 days to go, at the end of the 3rd day ill have 1 penny with 28 doubling days to go, 1 penny with 29 days to go and 2 pennies with 30 days to go, and so on and so forth.

by the end of the month i'll have 1,073,741,824 pennies that are worth $10,737,418 but since these pennies have variable double times and are basically never ending the weight of said pennies after just 60 days would equal around 2,684,354,560,000 tons and would cover the surface of the earth killing us all.

I'm just using the numbers you have given to show you're wrong even if your prior calculations are right, which they aren't. So I suppose you could say they indeed are so bad they are "not even wrong". My own estimate is at around 2000 cubic meters, considering official penny dimensions and the fact that you're packing circles into hexagons, meaning it would easily fit into property that's 800 square meters or so. Not hard to rent with 9m on the line, even if you don't have one.

>>17414000
Note that pennies, when stacking side-to-side, waste some space. You can calculate the space it will take altogether by noting that hexagons pack perfectly and each hexagon contains 3 pennies (center + 120 angles).
Each hexagon has the diameter of a penny as an edge, so 19,05mm according to wikipedia. This adds up to 942,848mm2 in area per hexagon, or 314,283mm2 per penny.
Furthermore, a penny is 1,52mm thick, so each penny takes roughly 477,7 mm3 of space. You multiply this by one billion and then divide it by one billion to convert to m3, so you end up with 477,7 cubic meters to store all these pennies, which is even less than I had highballed.
