I estimated 12 boxes, @ 2500 per box = 30,000. But I see itlnstln921 beat me too that number, I will guess 13 boxes so 32,500 pennies :)

I definitely misjudged the size of the jug...based on a poor estimation of the size of your dog. This jug likely weighs in the neighbourhood of 200lbs if not slightly heavier.

I'd say a little over double what your able to move, so 8x2500= 20,000 plus another 1750 to top it off = a Guess of 21,750
I am at a remote site, but that looks like a large water bottle, and I have an empty one of those at home. I also have a lot of pennies/ cents at home as well....
BUT I am not willing to open the safe, caryy the pennies to a container and dump all of those pennies in for an accurate count, I'd have to sort them and that would take more time than a person dragging this thing for miles to a local bank !
= Þ
Its a nice collection of cents. I am wondering if you take such a huge container to say a Coinstar, will it clog the machine with a copper overdose?
I think you would get some dirty looks if you walked into the bank and said you'd like to make a deposit......hehehehe
So if my guess is close, at 21750 coins, and its roughly 144 US Cents equals one pound, thats about 151 pounds or close to 440-450 rolls.
HEY ! I think I see a 1955 Doubled Die in there, somewhere ! ( just kidding).

Are you gonna make me count them as I look ?
Then this post may take some time to close!
I'll take your word for it, I am sure you checked them for the valuable ones.

I'm saying right around $300.00 worth. So, 30100, but that's taken, so I'll move up to 30,172

How long did that take to fill? im not exactly sure, it has been years. it has been filling up faster since I started coin roll hunting last 2 years, when I would drop a penny on the floor instead of picking it up right away I would just grab another penny from a bowl to top off the roll and when it was time to sweep the floor I would take those pennies and put them in the jar |
