It's very solid, it could hold about 10 lbs just guessing though  |

Not to be pessimistic but I really don't think that dirt and water will have a nice effect on those coins. If you do use it let us know what it looks like in a few years.

Ooh sorry but as pretty as it is it's making me cringe.
I do hope there's nothing of any rarity/value amongst them.

Unfortunately you can't put plants in it. The coins would be ruined and the plants would be poisoned.
Perhaps you could put a kitten in it and photograph it!
If you do that, we want more pictures!

We don't use it for plants , just a conversational piece  |

Hang it and throw worthless coins in it. I have a bunch of Guatemalan 1 centavos that I'll donate.

Somehow I feel that would be a bad idea. |
