Speaking as someone from GT: To be fair, we did actually have all of the pennies and the notes. However we had already detached the coins from the text so it was much harder. We also thought we needed to use things like the meta answers, and plus we were all really tired by then. So most of the 7 hours was in fact staring at the pennies trying to figure out what was going on :P
I don't think any of us looked at the pennies/notes before reaching this meta, because we expected there to be more shell after getting all of the pieces.
I think it was similarly difficult for teammate (who spent 7 hours and counting before LO mercy-killed the puzzle for them), although Palindrome got it relatively quickly (1.5-3 hours?).
