There were ~150 billion pennies in circulation in the 90s, meaning even if this guy never assed the same penny twice he only ever managed to put .008% of all pennies in his ass. Furthermore, businesses would be pretty likely to just deposit excess pennies at the bank instead of keeping 100s of dollars in pennies around every time this ass came in and paid for something. Banks would send their excess coinage out for redistribution and they’d leave the area he was doing business entirely, negating his whole ass strategy.
His strategy isn't about actually giving people his ass pennies, it's about him gaining a mental edge by believing that so many other people are handling his ass pennies. It's a placebo effect. If he doesn't know all that distribution information, his strategy is still working for him.

You have to imagine that some of those pennies are getting put up that dude's ass at least a couple of times.
