How much $$$ is a gallon of change?

Over the years I have amassed a gallon of change in an old Carlo Rossi wine jug. Its about full up to the handle, not a whole lotta pennies. Whats it worth in real money?

 

Uhhh is that a serious question?

 

start counting ...

 

Go to the grocery store and pour it the Coinstar machine. They keep a small cut. Voila! Go buy a hooker with your earnings.

 

10% more than coinstar gives you.

 

I'm sure there's a way to tell, but you'd have to be some sort of astrophysicist to calculate it. You may as well just throw it away.

 

I started counting one day and made it up to about $80, and that was maybe an inch of change out of the jug. Theres a good 8" or so of change, so im figuring i got at least $600 bucks or so.

f the coinstar, most banks will do it for free. not gonna let those bastards steal my hard earned change

 

change that shit at the bank...for free! screw coin star

 

after i go change it in i think im going to buy some sliders, and a new jug of wine.

forgot to mention. the oldest penny i found in there was from 1919

 

Think this is a STUMP CHRIS4x4 question

 

sorry, buy i have to ask you to show your work. how did you arrive at your answer?

 

Following averages, if there's an equal number of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, that works out to 10.25 cents per coin. Let's guess their is 50 coins per layer and maybe it's 100 layers deep, that's 5,000 coins.

=$512.50

That's my guess. Yep, go buy yourself some sliders.

Let me know how much was in there.

 

He looked in the back of the book! Get him!

 

It is worthless. Send it to me.

 

counter by weight:

http://www.coincalc.com/

if your jar is all pennies, weigh the jar and enter 1 penny in the penny box. it does the calculation based on the weight of the coins. a penny is 0.005512 pounds.

 

I know for a fact that if you fill up the plastic cap over of a 100pack cd-r would be $100 and that is with mostly pennies because I filled it up and brought to a coin star but they end up jacking me $10. The second times I went back is only 1/4 of that plastic cap in quarters I got atleast $50 and of course they took $5 out of my coins for charges.

 

coin calc just said I got $51 in my spare change baggie.

 

475.00?

 

carlo rossi?
