If you want to see what you are worth per hour this Minimum Wage Machine would be a great exercise. If you were making minimum wage in New York you would crank the handle and get a penny about every 5 seconds.

“The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 5.04 seconds, for $7.15 an hour (NY state minimum wage). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money. The machine’s mechanism and electronics are powered by the hand crank, and pennies are stored in a plexiglas box.”
