The one account I know that follows this account is @chasedownloads aka Chase Passive Income, which is a parody of a certain kind of entrepreneur, very much not real.

This is not real. No one associated with this account (or, probably, any account) has bought these nickels.

The picture isn't even his, I just searched "box of nickels" to see if it's standard to have such an unremarkable looking box and this ebay listing showed up with the same picture: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275972601184

Good for him I guess that he'll probably make a couple hundred bucks from twitter impressions. I regret spending any attention on this, flagged and blocked...

I saw this on Twitter and it sounds extremely fake. As for the replies, it's hard to tell if people are playing along or actually believe it.
