gussyboy1 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 2:57 pm Still a newby, but went to the bank and got $50 in pennies to sort thru---I hurt my back carrying them! I even put the sack in a diaper bag to make it easier and hide the fact I had a ton of coins in my possession. How do you guys do it with getting your nickels,quarters,etc in large amounts?

The head cashier is always more then happy to get them for me but he's a small guy and it's kinda funny watching him carry them out of the vault to the counter. Report this Post to the Staff

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 3:41 pm Depending on wear, $50 in pre-1982 pennies will weigh approximately 34 pounds and $50 in post-1982 will weigh around 27 pounds. Assuming you were carrying a normal circulated mix, the $50 probably weighed about 29-30 pounds. Report this Post to the Staff
