Just cashed in one of these full. Had to split it into 3 5-gallon buckets to make it manageable. I will say 29,997.

I was talking about the water bottles they use at the water coolers, which hold a LOT of water.
if it is bigger than that I gotta ask a question ( hand raised !)

Does this Penny blockade cause your house to unearth itself and tilt, causing you to walk up/downhill inside your house?

OK, OK, Looks like I will have to up me ante answer a tad..... I don't drink wine...maybe I should..... It might enhance my guess skills...NAH !

So lemme guess....31,111. Sure thats a winner for sure. Ummm, but I really like me first "guess-ti-mate" of 21750.

I too have a TON, well maybe not that much, but it seems like I do - of pennies. I have at least eight 5,000 count bags, so I would say
I have between 40-50,000 BU Lincoln Cents myself.


I upped the ante because if this is a 20 liter bottle, it can hold about 6100 pennies per gallon. If only my truck could get MPG like that, refills would last 3 months !

But mine aren't going to go to the bank. I hope they go into collector's hands eventually. = )

The scientic guys at work tell me the profit in the vino bottle is 324.07 in US dollars.
Now, do we have to convert that into Canadian Dollars, or is a "count" sufficient.
Oh, then scientific Wild errrr guessers would be 32407. Commmon.

I am not guessing that. Thats far too techincal for me.

I'm guessing around $1,000.00 worth so 100,000 pennies.

It took my parents about 2 or 3 years to fill this up with loose change. There was about $1,550 in it.

I had a glass jar just like yours. Was close to 3/4 full then one day it had shattered. Do not know why. I do know, there is a lot of pressure there and what a pain it was to get the coins separated from the glass. Be careful.
Nice contest!

Eh.. My guess will be off. Thought it was one of those plastic water jugs we have here in the states.
