Simple Contest - It's Over - See "Last Post" For Winners

OK, I know something like this has been done before, BUT guess what - Here we go again.

Please - READ CAREFULLY - this is a Simple Contest, BUT I'm sure there will be questions. I have tried to include everything, BUT you never know?

This Simple Contest will start today Saturday 11-24-07 and run for 2 weeks, ending on Tuesday 12-4-07 at 7:00 PM EST.

I have this jar, bottle, planter, call it what you will and like hundreds of people reading this, every day when we get home from work or shopping the Wife and I throw all our loose change ( after I look it over ) into this jar. Now after approx. 13 months the jar is FULL.
The jar contains pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. The are NO, NONE, ZIP, NADA ( get the idea ?) half dollars, Ikes, Susan B.s, Sacagawea's or Presidential dollars.

The CONTEST will have 2 parts:

Part 1. "How Much is IN the Jar?"

Part 2. "How Much Does the Jar Weigh FULL of Coins?"

THE RULES:

For Part 1. - The CLOSEST guess to the EXACT AMOUNT in Dollars and Cents ( ie: $26.84 ) WITHOUT going over will be a Winner.

For Part 2. - The CLOSEST guess to the EXACT WEIGHT in POUNDS AND TENTHS OF AN OUNCE ( ie: 9 pounds 13.7 ounces) WITHOUT going over will be a Winner. NOTE: Weight will be in Avoir du pois and NOT Troy.
