-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 06/06/2026 9:54 pm Basing this on no silver quarters and the approximate amount of quarters in the jug, I would say that's a couple grand over what it's worth. I am being conservative though and being a searcher of many different things I would probably give it some leeway. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6476 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 12:23 am If you believe Google, a 5 gallon jug can hold about 14000 quarters, which is $3500. YMMV. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19130 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 12:09 pm Yes, a tad over on the quarters. I'd want to know more about that '96 F150.... Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 657 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 7:43 pm I had filled a 4-liter jug with quarters a few years ago and it held right at $1000 in quarters. Working a bit of math, the 5-gallon jug should hold right at $4,725 in quarters. Plus, I would not want to wrap them and dispose of them.

I saved all of my change as a kid in a big glass jug like that. When it was time to move it, it was tremendously heavy. So much so that it probably shouldn't have been sitting on my bedroom floor without extra support to avoid stressing the wood. Bumping it against anything was a big concern—and those coins were a real bear to get back out the narrow spout! Report this Post to the Staff
