What would you buy with over $10,000 in quarters?
Given that it would weigh somewhere north of 500lb, we're guessing your first purchase would probably be a wheelbarrow. It's a dilemma that the world's second-ranked Donkey Kong player, Steve Wiebe, is hoping to face: if he can beat the standing record score on the 1981 arcade classic, he'll be rewarded with the oddly-denominated sum.
Wiebe's target score is 1,050,200 points, a total which will require him to play the game for hours. He'll make his attempt next month at the E3 video games expo in Los Angeles.
